Ha! Good guess, Rosie! Found this on Bicycling.com:
When You Say Ow! My...Knee
Try Tweaking Your...
Saddle Position: If the backs of your knees hurt, lower your saddle. Pain in the front or sides? Raise it. If they hurt on the outside, try bringing it forward a bit.
"Pedal Without Pain" (Halfway down the page)
It's certainly worth looking at!
Are we talkin' cameras or guns here?
Ok! I'll try raising it an inch or two, then! Thanks.
Mmmm...guns...
Yeah, those would be another thing to check out in person, so to speak.
We should do that soon, too.
Just find some way to blame it on the squirrels. :)
Time to go walk.
Somehow I can't see Office Max selling guns. ;o)
Mmmmm.....guns...
Not even in CO?
Maybe the pawnshop...
That I will NOT be doing.
We could pawn the stolen books for a gun...
I think we could get more for them on the black market.
It's probably less shady, too.
Hmmmm.....
I think you need a contagious airborne virus. Maybe if someone joined smallpox with a flu virus....
Just thinking.
Or a SARS type of deal? Maybe add some boils or something in for color...
Yeah, something like that. I just thought airborne would be easier to infect everybody.
Unless you want to put it in water and have everybody worry about whether they've got it or not.
Some new type of airborne upper respiratory disease?
What kinda symptoms are ya gonna give them, Jen?
I'm not dead yet....
Smallpox is airborne isn't it? At least it's contagious. I want this group of people (my main characters plus anonymous others) to be at risk but not the population in general - that's why they're in quarantine, so other people don't get sick.
Spots, at least. Nasty delusional stuff. Contagious. Not more than 50-60% fatal.

I think it's spread mostly through "saliva droplets," according to this site. It has a small window of opportunity to spread to others naturally. Found some stuff about making it airborne for bioweapons but haven't read any of the articles yet.
