Bird flu's in my neighborhood. The Health Dept. is under-reporting.

"WATERFORD, Mich. (WXYZ) — A Waterford Township public park has now closed off its chicken coop after multiple birds were found dead from the bird flu, and at least one worker is experiencing symptoms."

People are getting it from animals...chickens, cows, etc. And these animals are getting it from wild animals. It's in the air; it's coming.

Maybe Protestants have that "graven image" thing going on...or they don't have saints. Their churches are bland. 
When I was a kid my dad owned a church in Detroit. I'm pretty sure it was Baptist. It was called The Biblelujah Church. The clerics name was Miss Mildred. She would pay my dad a fraction of the rent each month in change and the rest in food donations from the flock.  I remember the building had a mural of giant black hands praying on the front done in fluorescent colors. The city tore it down to build a hospital.

We don't worship graven images like the Catholics. We don't charge admission to Heaven like the Catholics either. In my religion places of worship are for gathering to worship  God and enjoy fellowship with other believers.
   Which is why we don't decorate our churches like upscale whore houses. The edifice isn't important.
   GOD is important.

Probably that’s what we all have.

"Flu cases have been rising across the country, and the CDC said that there has been an 18% increase in flu cases over the past week."

Upper middle class?
Maybe 30 years ago.

According to this calculator, I'm in the Middle Class for people in Michigan. It feels kind of tight for middle, on the 'lower' side maybe.
