This and That

Full Moon (93% full, anyway)

I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night.  I kept getting up and logging on to the computer, messing around a little, and then trying again to go to sleep.  I think it was after 6 this morning before I finally dropped off.  Needless to say, I didn't get a lot done around the house today.  Oh well.

 

Opportunities

I had an interestingly titled email yesterday that somehow didn't go to my spam folder as it should have.  It was from "Australia Food Company" and the subject line said "PARTNERSHIP OPPUASRTUNITY".   I don't think I would want to partner with a company that can't spell opportunity.

 

Bird Flu

A BBC science writer reported yesterday that scientists have found a possible bird flu anitibody; haven't heard too much about the bird flu lately.  I hope this antibody works.  The antibody has been effective in mice and the scientists are hoping to be able to start testing in humans soon.  It was a rather interesting article.

 

Elephants

"JUBA, Sudan (Reuters) -- International wildlife experts have located hundreds of wild elephants on a treeless island in the swamps of south Sudan, where they apparently avoided unchecked hunting during more than 20 years of war."...CNN

The whole CNN article here.

Could the moon have had anything to do with your sleep pattern? Hope tonight will find you a comfort zone. Thanks for sharing the info. Have a wonderfu Hump Day!

I had a hard time sleeping last night as well. I am hoping for a better night tonight.

The antibody isn't going to be an awful lot of use, I'd imagine. Viruses have this nasty tendency to change (mutate).

My mother was all up in arms last year about bird flu.  She was certain we would all die from it.  So uplifting let me tell you...
