In Texas it's Boo-wee. That was the man's name as is the knife that bears it. Outside of Texas people mispronounce it as Bow-ee like Ziggy Stardust.

If you're talking about David (rest in power) Bowie, then it's Bow-ee. But the knife is Boo-wee.

Texas has so many. Bogota pronounced buh-GO-duh

Arkansas has a Lafayette county pronounced luh-FAY-it even though that county literally borders Louisiana.

Don't even get me started on Bowie, DeKalb, or Houston.

This play is so good. I've used that monologue to audition and it never fails to elicit a smile or some other reaction. The person speaking is reasoning away why he cheated on his wife but still.

Our St. Bernard Rosie does this too. But she can't have it as she's allergic to chicken.

The Dodo (and its "cousin") were wiped out before they could be correctly taxonomically classified. Using writings that go back to the 1500s, and the few samples that have survived, avian paleontologists have classified them in the same family as doves and pigeons. Writings show evidence that the idea of "Dumb as a Dodo" about a slow bird predestined for extinction is also incorrect.

But he didn't freeze to death. There are sequels to The Giver. Gathering Blue isn't a direct sequel but in the same universe. I forget the name of the actual sequel.
