I was driving with the kids to the local garden centre, listening to a news item on the radio about the outbreak of swine flu in Mexico. It struck me that, as a Stephen King fan from a while back, driving the kids to the local garden centre and hearing about a disease outbreak far away is not a good sign for you or the people around you.
(do you hear parenthetical voices second guessing the motivations of your actions? could be trouble.)
I agree – sounds suspiciously like a Stephen King plot. Use hand sanitizer frequently!
