Thank you for yesterday’s grade, and glad you are getting better-my hike this morning was a kindling mission, too-it was brisk, cloudy and 45, and plenty of broken small limbs on the ground from the recent winds...

I don’t see how any pharmaceutical concern wouldn’t rush to discover and patent something to cure a cold-if it were turned into an over-the-counter thing, they would likely make 100’s of $1000’s each day just from people not wanting to miss work, never mind those who develop other problems every time they catch one. I realize it would be in small bills, but so what-it all spends the same, doesn’t it?

On the absence of said cure, my favorite shortener for colds is Zicam, maybe some echinacea, and the Neti pot-that works for me.

You’ve got to remember they already make lots of money selling Nyquil and other remedies for colds and flus.

And I’ve never heard of that type of pot, but smoking it will surely exacerbate a cough.
