The Wilson house was sprayed with pesticide by the city just a few minutes ago. I don't know whether to be thankful that West Nile-carrying mosquitos aren't likely to thrive near our house, or annoyed that we'll be breathing pesticide all night. Oh well, I suppose the Star Tran buses that pass in front of our house probably belch out more toxic gases every day, so in the big scheme of things, a little pesticide won't make much of a difference.
I don't think I should think about these things right before bed.

West Nile isn’t that bad. I wouldn’t have known I even had it if I didn’t donate blood regularly. And I even got a $200 check from the gov’ment for letting them take my blood and use it in some sort of research! Best horrible illness ever!
West Nile isn’t that bad? I know people who have had it that have been very ill for several years now. It can caause death in elderly (and I’m guessing young children). It’s extremely difficult to diagnose making treatment difficult.
Not that bad?
Yes I know that in fact it is a horrible illness, and shortly before I had contracted it, a co-worker’s cousin had died from the illness, who was the same age as me at the time. I was just trying to make light of my own experience with the virus, which is similar to that of 80% of the people who contract the virus that experience little or no symptoms at all.
