===================
 GJ> It was suggested that a virus, possibly spread by Varroa, upset the
 GJ> bees' navigation system.

I'm a little concerned with new viruses and how they seem
to have popped up more frequently of late. Or perhaps we
just know what they are now, whereas in the olden times
they were just another plague. But I presume bees have
immune systems?

 GJ> Is your natural diuretic beer or wine?

The fluid restriction sort of lets beer out, so it's
become whiskey, with a supplement of uva ursi extract
with other botanicals added.

 GJ> Dietary control of health problems is far preferable to drugs.  That
 GJ> does take a bit of trial and error to establish what is best for you.

I have been healthiest on the high protein diet. Whenever
anyone tries to mess with it by adding any substantial
amount of (say) starch, my condition goes to hell in a
handbasket. I think I should eat a pound of meat a day
and nothing else (except whiskey and the occasional glass
of red wine for health purposes).

 GJ> Have there been further delays in the delivery of the 787s?

There have been delays announced for both the 787 and the 350.
At least the first 787 flight has been scheduled. I don't recall
the date - I scanned the release for a note that they were selling
space on it, which of course wasn't there.

 GJ> loyalty to UA is most commendable.

They do treat me like a nob. Even with the cheapness of the
wine, that is a good thing.

 GJ> What has been taking up your time, apart from Echo mail?

Occupation. Or profession, if you will.

Drambuie(R) taste-alike
cat: booze
yield: 1 qt

1/4 ts dried rosemary
- or 1 ts fresh; fresh is much better!
3 c Scotch - Real Drambuie is made with Chivas, but
- any palatable blend will do well.
1 c honey - please use honey here,
- it really makes a difference!

Crush or chop rosemary, add to Scotch, let stand overnight
(or two). Strain, add honey, shake well. Decant after 2-3 weeks
in bottle. Age for as long as possible.
