Good morning Southeast Texas! We safely arrived back to work after a wonderful holiday and have been somewhat out of touch with the happenings of the world. Apparently there's this whole swine flu thing going on of which we knew nothing.
According to this article from the BBC, the swine flu is something normally only pigs get, but has mutated so that humans are now susceptible to it as well. We'll trust the Brits on this. They know a thing or two about diseased farm animals.
The symptoms of swine flu are fever, fatigue, runny nose, sore throat, coughing, and nausea.
Not to be confused with the symptoms of the regular flu which are fever, fatigue, runny nose, sore throat, coughing and nausea.
The World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and a lot of other smart people are on this thing. It's sad that they're too late to help some victims in Mexico, but it seems like we're all ready for it now. Locally, Southeast Texas health officials are prepped in case it shows up here.
Just to be safe at MEvBLOG Central we might switch to turkey bacon for the time being.

If this is passed on through pork chops and bacon, I'm sooo screwed! Damn you, BLT'S! I curse you with my peppered bacon breath!
RE: Anne
But what better way to go then munching and the oh-so-satisfying taste of fried and rendered pork fat?
Supposedly you can't get this from eating pork. So feel free to continue with the BLT's!
