“Its enjoying the simple things that keep us young.”

Wisely said. I like being retired and separated from the severely unbalanced woman, because my stress level has been reduced greatly.

The mosquitos are probably getting sick in Detroit or Dearborn.

Sooner the better. A lot of deer should fall dead, too. Good riddance. Where I live they meekly decided to cull the herd due to frequent car accidents.

I am not lying, some local leftist activists sat down in the areas where the company’s marksmen were shooting so the cull would be ended. Dirty scumbags.

They needed to be culled. The deer did, too. (Just kidding.) I am not advocating violence.

Cull the scumbags by the bushel.

It’s probably 3 or 4 weeks to the first frost. In the meantime, there is something you can do to make yourself unappealing to mosquitoes. A 100 mg B1 tablet daily is more than you can metabolize, so the excess will show up in your sweat and on your skin. Mosquitoes don’t like it and will leave you alone.

Sounds like good advice. I take a mega-B supplement that supplies 6667% of the RDA for thiamin, so I’m probably good.

That’s because “Complicit In Genocide Bridge” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

I hear you. I commute to work in semi-rural SW Pennsylvania. The biggest road hazard is deer darting into traffic. Stupid doesn't even begin to describe them. They will actually stand on the road and stare at you.

But somehow, they don't pull these stunts after deer season opens.

I got West Nile several years ago. Not pleasant. Fortunately, I have a decent immune system. It was one of the weirdest illnesses I’ve ever had. It came on like a freight train over about 1-2 hours. Was completely miserable.

If you look, you can see various forms of evidence of the Left trying to slowly make America’s rural areas uninhabitable. Agenda 21 - and a convenient way to keep potential rebels trackable within the Deep State’s security perimeters.

‘He was happy and healthy - then brain dead’: Michigan grandfather dies nine days after contracting mosquito-borne EEE virus...

‘We just didn’t know and the doctors were just doing everything they could to try to say it was this or that, and they just couldn’t figure it out.’

And even once they diagnose the root cause, doctors are relatively helpless to treat it.

In a hospital setting, patients may be placed on life support and given IV fluids, but antibiotics are useless against viruses, and scientists have yet to discover an anti-viral therapy.

Michigan is in the throes of the worst outbreak of EEE the state has seen in well over a decade, health officials there said in a statement.

The state has seen seven confirmed cases off EEE, which has also sickened 10 in New Jersey, nine in Massachusetts and three in Rhode Island. Several people have died across the affected states.

In a typical year, there are just five to 10 cases in the entire US.
