Yep, so far things are pretty good, but this bug has a good spreading mechanism. Wash hands often. There hasn't been much action by it here either, but it is early in the season.

She is married to John (Jock) McKernan, the former two time Governor of Maine. That is the term limit. If Maine were Chicago he would have been reelected as many times as he liked.

The NBA was not much at that time so it wasn't that, just to be a really good basketball player. Most of my childhool was spent in Bangor, an adyllic childhood. When you were 10 in Bangor, the guy you wanted to be was Jock McKernan. He was an all state basketball player, literally. There is a picture frozen in my memory, titled "Jock's Farewell." Bangor had been wiped out by Cony (79-50?). He was moving left across the basket, a move a tried to emulate hundreds of times.
