Monkey or Bird Flu Anyone?











Son Andy has not written much, but I did get his latest pictures off his Picasa site. The group spent a long weekend in Chengdu, China last week. Apparently he saw the pandas. His caption on the picture of him with monkey on shoulder was something like, "Rabies shot, anyone?" I had read; stay away from wild animals. Our CDC recommended he get a series of rabies vaccine before going but he did not have enough time to get these shots. I also was nervous about the bird flu and hoped he would not be around too many poultry. (The chicken in the picture was on the bus with him.) That probably was moot the first trip to the market where every manner of "live food" like chicken, snake and rabbit is sold. There is another picture of them singing Karaoke which is big there. Collegeville and St. Joe are probably going to seem pretty tame to the Chinese students coming our way.
