If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.
Silence is golden and duct tape is silver.
I don't write trip reports.

Having a bug in the middle of summer is the worst. One of my earlier childhood memories is being confined in side on a hot day until my temperature dropped. Get well soon.

Thanks PB. I actually had to cancel all of my clients today. I see several kids on ventilators, so obviously, I am the plague to them!

I had a bronchial thing going on last summer about this time. Knocked me down for several weeks...I'm a healthy guy, but this one really got me.
Drink lots of water, that seemed to really help me.
By the way, HikerChick, I've finished that book by Steven Pinker on "The Language Instinct"...I'm blown away by the unbelievable "tools" that are used in even forming words...the larynx, palate, nasal passages, tongue, teeth and lips all being used in a nearly infinite variety for forming language sounds...pretty neat.

Is the English language that has only 40 "sounds" to it? Or am I off my rocker?

Stefan, you are very close. The English language has about 50 sounds that comprise our phonetic system. However, the number can vary due to regional dialects. (this is of course discounting any sounds you may make if you drop a hammer on your toe!!)
