Peacenik's inbox is overflowing with page after page of Google bird flu alerts. Was Peacenik's time spent preparing for bird flu wasted? Peacenik doesn't think so. Yesterday Peacenik reviewed Peacenik's bird flu medications. Peacenik was horrified. Peacenik's Aspirn, Peacenik's Ibuprofin, Peacenik's Acetaminophine, Peacenik's Kaopectate, and Peacenik's Tamiflu were all stale dated. Peacenik has been prepared for a very long time.
Peacenik reminds dear readers of this prophetic post: Bird Flu??? What dat????. This is not a time for panic. This is a time for alarm and preparations. This morning Peacenik's eyes were itchy. Do not rub your eyes. This is the number one rule of beating the pandemic. That and washing your hands. Peacenik feels good. Temperature normal. Supplies adequate. Spirits positive. Peacenik rubbed Peacenik's eyes.
