With swine flu to the south of us, in California, and to the north of us, in Canada, I suppose it was inevitable. As of this writing there are 16 suspected cases of swine flu in Washington state.

I told him that I’d been having a problem with being “blinded” by bright lights. “It’s like being blinded by a camera flash,” I explained. “Only I’m never sure what bright actually caused the problem.
