Happy thoughts!

On the post-apocalypse note, thanks for the book. I enjoyed it. Only took me 3 days from start to finish.

Thought you would. Feel free to pass on to Andrea.

It's the topic today in AP Euro.The explanations for it at the time were hilarious. Keep in mind this was 1300 BS (Before Science)

I've passed it along to her, which means it might make a roundtrip to Singapore before you get it back :-)

Nice light topic for running thoughts.

So what was the conclusion of your thoughts on the plague?

I was thinking these were actually happy thoughts ("at least we aren't getting wiped out by fleas") and then I remembered the death of honey bees and health hazards of mosquitoes.
