Swine flu hits home…..

As I drove to work this morning, something seemed out of place.

Glasses? -Got 'em. Whew!

School crossing lady? Missing in action as I came round the bend expecting to have to slam on the brakes. HMMMM. That's odd. Oh well-lets see what the BMW can do………….(Six cylinders of German engineering spring into action.)

No line of traffic at the turn to the Arsenal? What's up with that? At least it means I won't be late. I can even stop at the Quickie Mart and get the foo-foo coffee I like.

Get to work. Boarding the elevator to cubeville, I ask, " Hey are schools closed this morning?"

"Yep-they had a case of swine flu diagnosed. Don't you watch the news?"

Not in the morning, I don't. I'm lucky if I make it to the car on time.

So now we have got that going for us.

  1. North America representing on the pandemic virus front. With luck, ours will be better than SARS and Bird Flu put together!

  2. So riddle me this. I watched DR Sanjay Gupta reporting from Mexico about H1N1 and around his neck is a face mask, which other doctors say is USELESS in preventing flu.
    Does he wear it off camera?
    Why?
