West Nile Strikes the crew


About a week ago the good captain seemed to be in a weakened state. With joint pain, no energy, and a rash, the captain seemed to have the symptoms of West Nile disease. The Commander had little sympathy for captain jelly belly, and contributed it to a flare up of his incurable laziness.

This week the commander seems to be down with the same thing. Today she has rallied and may be past the worst of it. Yesterday her exigency went to the doctor and had some blood test, so we may actually find out what we have.

In the bilge of our ship we carry our own supply of home raised misquitos that could be the root cause for this dread.
