West Nile disease.... What's that?
They are /very/ bothersome here. They have a very higt-toned sound when they
fly and if you get one or two in the bedroom when going to sleep it's almost
impossible to sleep. You will hear them flying around your years......
And after they haved sucked the blood it will itch for an hour or so.

 BF>> That will be Strawtown. Funny, eh.....

Do you think that "halm" and "stad" is the same in Dutch?
