My computer got hit with a deadly virus and gave up the ghost. But that's not the worst virus that got me this week. Effects Measure writes:
I've been asked a number of times why I am bothering to get both flu vaccines this year (the seasonal flu trivalent vaccine and the swine flu vaccine when it is my turn). I am in the older age group (last in line for swine flu vaccine) and it is my group that is hit the least hard from the swine flu virus.
Now let me tell you why I think you should get it. Because I got the flu a few days ago. A 'light' case according to the doc, and it was like a combination of the worst muscle and joint pain you can imagine combined with the most severe hangover and nightmarish hallucination, all while being wheeled back and forth from a meat locker to a steam room.
- Faith healers want to make sure they're not left out in the cold on HCR. Lord help me -- pun intended-- if Congress or the WH caves in on this one I might have to shoot myself.
- Arctic Ice could be gone in ten years. This is great news for John McCain.
- If you saw a brilliant lighting display over Amsterdam the other night, it wasn't the drugs, it was a rare fireall meteor, what astronomers call a bolide.
