    Bronchitis Not Good
    My daughter caught "viral" bronchitis and there was nothing the doctor could do for her. I think she finally stopped coughing after a few months... she was allergic to something in Mucinex too. But she went the inhaler/vaporizer route which helped somewhat.

    So I hope you have the bacterial kind, which can be treated!

    I went to the duck pond in Palo Alto hoping to see some babies, but there were none to be found swimming about...

    Hope you continue to recover...

    Thought Florida would be healthier for you -- but it's probably all those tourists coming in and leaving their germs in the air for you to catch!:D

    Wonderful shots of the cute little ones, Harry. I particularly like the 3rd shot. Sorry to hear that you had a bout with bronchitis, but glad to see you're feeling good enough to post some of your limkin shots. Here's to your recovery!

    I realize there's a very large cute factor in these shots but how many times to you get to see limpkin chicks? :D

    Hey Ian,

    Hows it going? These are from the Viera Wetlands. It you remember from your's and Andy's trip down here there was a section of the wetlands that had been closed off. The nesting limpkins was the reason for that closure.

    That was what I was thinking. Right near here:

    Honestly, I could have spent a *lot* more time here. The Viera Wetlands are
    remarkable for their variety--a beautiful spot!

    Hey Dee,

    I'm doing much better and should be out and about by this weekend at the latest. Florida has been pretty good so far for me. I don't get as many colds and stuff like I did in NYC. I think a lot of that is due to the fact that there's more space between folks down here than there was in NY. Not working helps too.

    It is my favorite spot especially when I'm the only person there. The sunsets can be amazing. I like to head out there when I'm feeling hassled. The place is so pretty and peaceful that it chills me right out. Its good for the soul.
