I think I hijacked my own thread with the comment

I was a bit down with the loss of a good friend and the impending loss of another.
I was at a BJ auction. DW told me not to buy anything I couldn't live in. 
I might just have come up with $65K for a Ferrari if I had known that I would be faced with more death (I'm sure my deceased friend would have bought one a year ago if he had known). Since I don't know how to put the pics where I want them, you might see DW's point. The following does not include my 05 Mustang GT or 07 Ranger. It only shows one car of each kind and I have 3 of one (top up) and 2 of the other. I might have enough cars, but maybe not.

I am sworn not to tell.
OK, I'll tell anyway. The only things that bugged me were the chiggers as I could not seem to avoid getting bit. No worse that the no-see-ums that get me in Florida. But I'm a bug magnet.

Steve, ask Martha if she's ever been to Texas other than in the winter when the bugs aren't active...much.

Please consider donating to non profit organizations coordinating medical aid to those in need. In some parts of Latin or Central America, about $1,000 can help buy antibiotics, antifungal cream, vitamins, and BP meds for about 1,000 patients.

It's amazing how a little bit of money can make a big difference in so many lives.

Additionally, If you are looking for charities that help here in the U.S.
for those in need:
RAM Rural AMerica Program
there was a 60 minutes episode on this organization a while back,
they seem like a worthy operation.

I do not wish to influence people on this board by naming non profit organizations. I volunteer with several of them. Examples of costs in El Salvador:
500 Tabletas Acetaminofén (500 mg.) $5
300 Tabletas Bactrin $27
400 capsulas amoxicilina $40
1000 Tabletas multivitamina tabletas $60
10 tubos Clotrimazol (Vag) $40
300 tabletas Antiacido $7
etc.
$1,000 = treatment for 1,000 patients

To reinforce the point, both Ian and Doug died early. Ian at 57 and Doug at 52 I think.

It seems that one should only visit Texas during the winter.
Never donate blood before the trip, that will happen naturally after you get there.
Anything else I might need to know?
