It is interesting to me that in the very place where man began and stood upright also cometh the deadly diseases which cross~over to humans. Intriquing to the mind to say the least. Since everyone has already told you to be careful and how much they appreciate your work for the planet in peril,I just want to reiterate "ditto" from me. The pic Jeff took of you looks great! You've been pumping iron! Remember if all else fails, catch up with Neil and Phil. They've got the booze! ;-) In the meantime, AC/360 is not the same without you! Now, don't you feel loved? Thanks for taking time to blog! Your news fan, Betty Ann Hi Anerson,

One of my friends did research on AIDS in the '80's and he explained that currently the AIDS virus is anaerobic, meaning it dies in an oxygenated environment (when exposed to air). One of the reasons it took so long for us to understand the virus is because initially the researchers who were investigating it were trying to culture it in a petri dish and it kept dying because it was exposed to oxygen. If the virus evolves so that it can survive in air, we are all in big trouble because it will be "catchy" like the common cold. Minou,

I'm taking a health class and we had a heated debate about HIV started with humans. The public believes so many superstitions, rumours and urban legends about HIV and AIDS. Now, I'll have some facts to back up my statements. Be careful out there, AC. Thank you for the report.

Whatever we want to call it...cause and effect, check and balance...things are spiralling out of contol due to greed and over-consumption. It's coming back full circle, and it's not pretty.
