San Gabriel and other musings
As Mr. Gates wrote: “This animal kills more people in a day than sharks do in a century”. Regarding, mosquitoes, I prefer the word “demon” to “animal” but that may be more of a personal problem/perspective than an accurate description. Read his blog and see why Shark Week on the television is kinda funny (not […]
As mentioned in my main Typhus article, keeping fleas away seems to be the best chance for not becoming infected by the disease named Murine Typhus.

It’s spring again. Our 3rd spring in San Gabriel, CA. This year, the grey demon started in February. Probably did the same during previous years. He/she didn’t seem so bad, and I briefly hoped that this year might be different. You know, that maybe the night caller from hell wouldn’t like our backyard as much […]

Seriously — a scary event happened in my life this month. An event that I need to share and hopefully help & warn others. […]

Mosquitoes. Hate them. Especially the Asian Tiger Mosquitoes that we have in San Gabriel. Especially the ones that carry West Nile Virus. Sad and true.
