[bored at work]

Intersting article to say the least. I have long wondered why it appears we are ignoring this beast at our doorstep. Castro has always been in the back of my mind as the enemy within spitting range.

I will never forget the tension back when my Naval father was on Castro's door step back during the crisis . . .

Thank you.

We did a lot of research on Cuba a couple years ago, there is so much that it becomes impossible to take it all in.

I have seen reports that our West Nile Virus came from there.

Birds trapped and released would also be able to fly the 90 miles.

For the life of me, I can't think of the name of the new chicken disease that has wiped out so many flocks all over the world.

For awhile I followed the Pro-Med reports, one was a new out break in Japan, first in the area.

The shocker was the owner reported finding several dead chickens at his water/feed area, that were not his and not even of a breed that he owned.

LOL. Yes, we know our chickens, rather like we know our dogs or kittens.

Make this a special and safe day.
