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 […]
Flee, Fleas
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.

MSDS: Mockingbird Sleep Deprivation Society
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 […]
Typhus, in other languages
If anybody can help translate my Murine Typhus post or the PDF into Spanish or Chinese, please let me know, or just do it and send it to me so I can make it available here. Thanks!

Typhus: Neighborhood Flyer
Here’s the flyer that I distributed to my immediate San Gabriel neighborhood. Feel free to share with others if you like. Of course, the other blog articles here about Murine Typhus might be interesting to you also.
Welcome back, to me.
Welcome to the Internet! What’s that? You’ve already seen the internet? What about the other one? You know, the other internet … (just kidding, you can research the Dark Web elsewhere). Seriously — a scary event happened in my life this month. An event that I need to share and hopefully help & warn others. […]
Trespasser
The night of August 21, 2017, the guy shown in this security camera picture walked up onto the front porch of our home, looked around and left. He was fast. It was early evening. We were sitting on the couch. Never saw him. This smaller version of the picture shows his face better. My security […]
Mosquitoes, Asian Tiger Mosquitoes
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. Identification can start with by killing one (Good job! +1 point), and then, if you didn’t do that with too much enthusiasm, you should be able to inspect the dead insect. […]
