It seems like, If I recall correctly , that I'm related somehow to 
both the Brinkerhoffs and the McKee's.

Steven, I mostly just bump into trees at work.

I am working for the Forest Service this summer, counting all the trees
on the mountains of Ashley National Forest.
Great area though--isn't it?

Steven, I mostly just bump into trees at work.

I am working for the Forest Service this summer, counting all the trees 
on the mountains of Ashley National Forest.  I have driven through most 
of these towns on the way up to the forest.  At night I'm sleeping in a 
trailer in an RV park in Vernal.

One of the survey team members I was working with is from Tridell.  
Turns out that her family, the Brinkerhoffs, are also relatives of my 
brother-in-law.  It was interesting to make the connection.  My 
brother-in-law, Gene Cook, is also related to the McKee family in 
Tridell.

I have heard lots of jokes about family lines that frequently intertwine 
in this area.  :-)

So, you've probably bumped into some of my relatives out there. Say hello

I'm glad I'm not there right now.  Let's hope it doesn't spread to California.

West Nile virus has been detected in Utah as of last week.

Earlier this summer the virus spread through southern Colorado.  Seven
people were found to be infected in July.  Many people suspect that
other cases occurred in the area, but were covered up or misdiagnosed.
Apparently several test flocks of chickens in areas of central Utah and

Anybody else know of local news about the spreading virus?

Unlike Cipro, which your doctor could have prescribed for 
you or anyone else who needed it during the Anthrax scare, 
a West Nile virus vaccine is only available to those who are 
in the test group, if there even is a test group yet.

RE: [ZION] West Nile virus

2003-08-19 Thread Jim Cobabe

Incidentally, although bovine and equine immunization has been available 
for a couple of years, no human vaccine for West Nile is yet available.  
I have read that it will be at least two more years before the newly 
developmed vaccine can be produced in large enough quantities to start 
distributing to the public.

I wonder if there is a there a way to get vaccinated through private 
sources.  Like many of the "important" government officials who had 
access to Cipro during the Anthrax scare.

Hmm...
