Here comes W day

[altivo]

But this time it marks just three more days to vacation. Nine whole days off that are, unfortunately, going to fly by with all the stuff I need to do. At least the weather was nicer today, though I think the thunderstorms are due back tomorrow. We have water running across the pastures again thanks to the Brit neighbor who cut down all his trees

I think the stock in pork has sunk precisely because people are silly enough to think that it's somehow linked to swine flu. We've all (at work) been issued with cotton masks this morning. Even though there is no infection in my part of the UK yet. I think people are letting this spiral out of control a bit.

Yes, that does sound like a serious case of overreaction.

It's hard sometimes to figure out whether the politicians (for it always comes down to them) really believe this crap, or if they are acting just to make it look as if they actually care. The Bush administration was constantly taking stupid actions "for the look of it" and not because they cared at all.

So... How about the alleged connection with Roche and Rumsfeld? I have heard some rumours about that. The swine flu (after the bird flu scare) scare would be all too convenient if it was true. What next, dog flu? :P

Republican flu I hope.

Hah! That was a good one. :P

But honestly, I just wish people would just be reasonable with things and not so stubbornly up their own arses with their opinions. World would be a much better place.

Fun (?) read: www.notalwaysright.com I hope the flu will only be caught by nasty people and the ones that are better away from the gene pool. :P
