A WALK IN THE WOODS

It's 8:27, about 44 degrees out, rainy and Patrick Jumped back into bed with Junior. Random Thoughts:

Junior and I watched the dvd Sin City with Bruce Willis. It was good, but two hours of the black and white and one other color effect was trying.

Took a long walk in the woods yesterday with Patrick the Earthdog to do some geocache maintenance and drop off some travel bugs. The Salamonie River is high, I thought it would be low this time of year. There's another 'cane heading for Florida, but the MSN doesn't seem to be giving it the airtime that it did Rita and Katrina. Lost was dissapointing last night. Did we learn anything new? Is Kate dating the little Rock God? That's weird.

This asian Avian flu that the MSM is hyping, that's now spread to Europe: It seems everybody that's got it so far, has gotten it directly from birds. It hasn't mutated enough to become contageous among humans. The 1918 "Spanish Flu" pandemic, also a bird flu, killed an estimated 30 to 50 MILLION people world wide , more than the Black Plague of the 1300's.(Not corrected for population growth) There's a vaccination for Bubonic plague, I wonder if mine is still good? If this present bird flu mutates and gets us, will we be abale to manufacture enough vaccine that will work? Bush is working on it, I hope there's enough time. The Spanish Flu killed within HOURS of contact in some cases, by suffocation. Oh, well.
