The upside to a cold. . .


At least that's how I'm thinking of it. After an excellent visit in Wisconsin with the folks and my brother, I picked up a cold that knocked me out for about a week. The usual regimen was followed: injection, some over-the-counter medicines that you need a prescription for back home, rest, fluid, etc.

It was finally beaten into submission and the other day I was feeling much better.

Now, there is no scientific basis for my little theory, but when I was down and out, I didn't get a single mosquito bite. Not one. The morning I woke up and was feeling in fine fettle, I went outside for a morning walk and came back chewed up silly.

Maybe the rotten buggers don't like the cold bug? Anyone have a thought?
