Some government agency just mailed me a notice that the virus had been detected less than `1/2 mile from my home--and that I should take all the precautions they then listed;scary, in a way.

wow I dindn't think they would go that far to alert people :o

up until this year I thought maybe my Meds made my blood un-tasty (I know not a word)
to Mosquitoes. I rarely get bit, and these 3 this year seem d like a Novelty to me
