Hey Garry, thanks for the tip. I'll have to put vinegar on my shopping list so Ican take the zing outta the sting.

I wonder how that poor guy in hospital is doing. That neurolgical syndrome sounds bad.

Off topic, but am reminded of my Aunty Amy ... she had polio as a kid, and now suffers a "post polio syndrome" ... at age 80 and with other big health issues its so hard on her. She does have an incredible vitality of intellect and pee and vinegar that puts me to shame though. She's ex navy ex race-car driver and the spirit still drives on

Some of these "bugs" and viral things can certainly come back and kick-heinie years down the road. "Post Problem Problems"

Anyways... I hope the gentleman overcomesand doesn't suffer longterm problems from the WNV.
