The Plague continues.

To the point where our weekend visit to the in-laws took a spoke to the wheel. Aggravating, but what can you do? My father-in-law is over seventy, and we as a culture now frown on the idea of exposing them to respiratory diseases. Including something like this one, which seems to be steadily mutating to a new, mildly annoying variant as it jumps from family member to family.

In unrelated news: about forty Rhesus monkeys escaped recently from the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center in South Carolina. …Damn, but that is precisely the name I’d pick if I needed something that sounded alarming for my biohazard apocalypse novel. Not that these monkeys did that, unless they were being used to research biological time travel. No, I don’t know why you’d use monkeys for that, either. But then, I don’t know why you’d want to research time travel in the first place. You might screw up, and figure out how to actually do it.
