If H5N1 really is the herald of doom for our late great planet, all I ask is that I remember to still live each day as my last, to honestly do the best I can, to enjoy the little things (good books, my children's smiles, sun and wind and rain), and to ensure the existence of my protoplasm was for good upon the earth. Good does not equal worry, or mourning the loss of utopia, or angry diatribes, no matter how well-meant. Good means loving my enemy, forgiving the clueless, being honest with myself, and sharing what I know.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what's H5N1? I'm in Canada, and don't get t.v., so I'm wondering if this is something from the U.S. news?

An internet search on "H5N1" will reveal alot on the subject. There is international concern about the implications of a virus for which there is no known cure, and is spread by wild birds to domestic flocks. Humans are susceptible. My friend Fred (www.fragmentsfromfloyd.com) keeps us informed on the latest developments.
