From a daughter of a Veteran who never felt he got the respect that was deserved, THANK YOU!!!!! It brought tears to my eyes as I read this, thinking back and remembering all that my dad had to go through. I know he would have smiled had he been able to read or even hear this. Thank you!

Professor...
I am aiming this at you, but throwing it at the general public.
County 46 was supposed to be just an overlay..ya know..with that asphalt. That is why, originally, it was a two week job. It was a quick fix, so people could use 46 as the detour during the 90 construction. Then something happened. The sinister minds that are got confused. They heard complaints about South Shore Road and the many overlays that have happened there. They got their orders confused at Ulland (or whoever has both..cause I think it IS the same group), and shipped the asphalt to 90 instead of 46, and the concrete to 46 instead of 90. Somewhere it saved SOMEONE money..just not sure who or where....LOL.
Seriously tho, design really has nothing to do with it. Inattentiveness among many things has to do with everything in these two projects...and that is just MY two cents on it..

I thought 46 was supposed to be a two week project ending sometime in either Sept or Oct?? Any clues as to when it will be opened again??

Veneratio,
Your right...H1N1 is just a mutated form of strain A. This was something that was said way back in the Spring. The seasonal flu shot this year includes...guess what...strain A. Now, lets do some deductive reasoning. H1N1 is mutated strain A. The only way to know a living person has it is by running tests to see which strain it is (A or B..since C is typically stomach related). If it comes back A, then it is ASSUMED H1N1, as they are looking at a "normal" flu being strain B. Let us not forget that the only way to know if it is or isn't H1N1 is by testing a person no longer living. I digress.
If the seasonal flu vaccine is for strains A and B (for sure, they usually take a stab at what the top 3 strains will be that year), and H1N1 is a mutated strain A, then in theory, the seasonal shot will work just fine.
I put this to the test this past weekend. I started feeling the symptoms, and mildly flipped, as currently I am the only one who has had a full dose of the vaccine. My 1 year old has had the first half, and my three other children are waiting for the next clinic to get theirs. #'s 3 and 4 in line have been diagnosed with Severe Asthmatic Tendencies, so any kind of flu could hospitalize them. I was exposed directly to H1N1 through my work, as were my children. Having had the seasonal shot, I figured at some point, my theory would be tested, and as mentioned it happened this weekend. Wouldn't you know it?? My body recognized it, and fought it off. Since it is a mutated form, it took a bit out of me to fight it (was really tired for one whole day), but the next day I was better. I still have some of the lilngering effects (coughing, stuffy nose, and sneezing that has been reported to last unto eternity AFTER having H1N1), but I am back to normal.
All of this to say, the seasonal flu shot will protect you just fine against H1N1.

No, but would be nice. I know that the Council, as well as the County Com. guys took a pay freeze...why not the top dogs as well??

And from everything that I have heard/read about, the side effects from the shot itself can be, and often times IS worse then the actual flu itself.

Let's not forget that they are telling people who might be sick with this to NOT go to the doctor to get checked out in the hopes that spreading it will be less. RIIIIIIIGHHHT. Here is my take on this:
You are sick with H1N1 type symptoms. You don't go in to be seen, but rather call the phone line. They say you are fine, no need to worry, take it easy. We already know that BEFORE the symptoms show...up to two or so days AFTER they go away....people are contageous. They go out anyway...gotta pick up the meds right? Exposure happens. OR:
A person has symptoms of another illness...like hay fever or bronchitis. They match H1N1. How are they supposed to know the difference?? They would have to go into the doctor for either of those things anyway, but oops...found otu they were at school or work thinking they were fine, only to find out they exposed how many people to H1N1??
Bunch of hooey!~!

They are a green that can be eaten. Kinda like loose leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce. They are more well known in the Southern half of the country...where they use the same ingredients, only add ham or salt jowl (that one for taste) to make it more meal like. Other "greens" are turnip (yep...the tops of those veggies), mustard (same plant that the condiment ultimately comes from), and collard (not sure what it's connection is to, but imho the best tasting of the three).

Random question for the editors.....
How does EAST 9th meet up with 4th Ave at all?? Only streets intersecting East 9th are Margaretha, Academy, Lee, Todd, and Frank Hall. WEST 9th on the other hand, does.
Just an FYI :)
