Breaking: WE DON'T HAVE THE EBOLA VIRUS!!!

We were in Dallas for a few days just after the 'outbreak'.


We both got colds.
Mainly upper respiratory crud.
No fever.

But Miz t. was worried.
Seriously.


This morning she announced "We've come through the incubation period. This is Day 21 since we were in Dallas. WE DON'T HAVE EBOLA."

Well, that's a BIG relief.

She's a worrier.

I have a reasonably intelligent neighbor, who hasn't been out of Seattle since the summer, who is scared to death of getting Ebola. It's hard not to laugh when she brings it up.

It's about whatever the media tells people to worry about like H1N1, MRSA ,Ebola or whatever to distract from the real problems we face. Look at this hand while the other hand is eviscerating you.
