Dear #nostr #damus:

I have experienced two more deaths in my circle/family, totaling 3. It has been overwhelming and kept me from attending to my friends here. One of my friends passed from West Nile Virus, which I previously dismissed as hypochondriac hype by the med community. Very few people die of this, in our sub tropical climate despite mosquitoes aplenty nearly year round. I detest DEET and bug spray, but I ask you all to wear it or some sort of organic barrier. See you again soon, hopefully, after my life storms settle, and the sun shines on my back door someday.
