I was bemused , shocked and disgusted to note that the week of May 15/21 is NATIONAL DOG BITE PREVENTION WEEK. I, of course, will do all I can to avoid being bitten during this time and I strongly recommend that you do the same.
However, I wonder what congressperson introduced this bill and why they did so. Much better would have been NATIONAL MOSQUITO BITE PREVENTION WEEK. Perhaps some officious legislator will come up with that next. Whoever it might be will certainly get my vote.
This sort of rubbish is more common than one might think. Our state legislators are not immune to stupidity. Every state seems to have a state flower and a state bird. I cannot imagine why. However, this at least does serve an important purpose. Where would our trivia games be without such nonsense.

I personally love state birds, flowers and trees.
Mockingbirds, Bluebonnets, and Pecans? What could possibly be more Texas?
On the other hand: Bluebirds, Roses, and Sugar Maples? Nothing about that calls to mind New York.
I'm delighted to know that there is a National Dog Bite Prevention Month. I'm certainly to prone to forgetting that dog bites are bad, and to be avoided (prevented). Thank goodness there is a month to remind me!
Actually, it's National Bike Month in my world, which has been quite nice, although I don't know who in the hell declares these months.
I declare it Grandaddy Tom Month, where we are all required to celebrate by commenting on your blog.
Woof - Woof!
