==========================
 -=> Quoting Michael Loo to Glen Jamieson <=-

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

 ML> I'm a little concerned with new viruses and how they seem
 ML> to have popped up more frequently of late. Or perhaps we

They keep mutating into new forms.  It's all Chas Darwin's fault.

 ML> just know what they are now, whereas in the olden times
 ML> they were just another plague. But I presume bees have
 ML> immune systems?

They wouldn't have survived without immune systems.  The Asian honey
bee can survive with the form of Varroa which is attacking the
European bees.  It travelled from Korea to Europe to America, etc.
 
 GJ> Is your natural diuretic beer or wine?

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

Which is what?  Bear bile?
 
 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.

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

So why don't you, and then get your health independently checked?
 
 GJ> Have there been further delays in the delivery of the 787s?

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

What a coincidence!  I have just watched on the TV the maiden flight
of the 787, only 2 1/2 years late.  It was mentioned that the A350 has
been flying for 2 years.
 
 GJ> loyalty to UA is most commendable.

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

It has happened to me on Singapore Airlines, twice, and that was
enough to make me choose that airline in preference to any other.
 
 GJ> What has been taking up your time, apart from Echo mail?
 ML> Occupation. Or profession, if you will.

Excellent!  Money for doing what you like.
