Swine flu is not new, but the H1N1 2009 strain is.

I’ll admit to being old enough to remember lining up as a college freshman in 1977 to take the swine flu vaccine. I swore to my math 101 instructor the shot mad me so sick I couldn’t take a test two days later and got an extension. I still had to take Math 101 over to graduate, but that’s another story.

I thought the Swine Flu was new. Guess not. I think a good epidemic would lead to Jensen and Jared on Supernatural taking their shirts off in every episode.

Interesting that this book is dated 1976 but it mentions catching the swine flu

I thought the same thing. Maybe caused by the nails?

I used to watch bowling growing up (yes, bowling is big in Detroit). Marshall Holman was known as being very animated in his reactions. People either loved him or hated him, but he was a great bowler and really attracted a lot of people to watch. I’m sure his tips are still valid today.

Laugh at the ticket agent with the antiquated equipment…but only because you’ve never been in an air control tower and seen how ancient their computers are!

Sadly, the SABRE system is still used by much of the airline industry.

Swine flu? In 1976? I was led to believe this was a TOTALLY NEW DISASTER.
