Dallas County is in the midst of an epidemic of West Nile Virus, which is carried by mosquitos. Ten deaths have occurred and numerous cases reported with 65 hospitalizations.
50% of the cases reported this summer to the CDC came from Dallas County, so the threat is serious. Aerial spraying is set to begin tonight and eventually will cover all the suburbs as well. However, an injunction was filed this morning to prevent the aerial spraying, so the issue is currently on hold.
Ft. Worth opted for ground spraying, but that is much slower and less effective. So, we shall have to see what develops with this issue, with just about everyone having an opinion about whether the spraying should go forward.
Holly and Bevan are in Destin, Florida where Holly had a rough two-day work week, Bevan is playing golf, and the girls are boogy boarding. They have just a tough life! Â
Amazingly, they ran across their neighbors from across the street, also vacationing there. Even more unbelievalby, they were staying at the same hotel. They have a daughter a year older than Bailey and another who just graduated from high school. Â
I'll be back tomorrow with my Friday report. Â
