So it's been far too long. Facebook has proven to be a major suck of personal computing time away from this blog, and my hesitancy about blogging on a few topics that might be vaguely work related has also kept me away. But it is time to get back here and get back in touch with the oversharing diarist and pseudo-journalist inside of me.
Back in the day I used to blog quite a bit about Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a truly charming CDC publication chock full of disease, injury and accident related news you can use. Right now, not surprisingly, it is a lot of swine flu updates. But there are some other good tidbits, like this report on the "fun" that results when you have a day camp at a petting zoo. Because sometimes frequent handwashing just isn't enough...
And as if flu from a pig or diarrhea from the farm animals isn't enough, there was this report on pet related injuries a weeks back. Best statistic: 2/3 of cat-related injuries occur when people trip over their cats. This is why I have houseplants, and prefer my "domestic ruminants" well-done.
That petting zoo report is Aaaagggh!
