          With several local schools closed due to confirmed swine flu cases, this outbreak is a teensy bit worrisome to those of us who live relatively close to Mexico. Lots of people here visit friends and relatives across a fairly fluid border … I enjoy the culture of a fluid border, but nevertheless, I’m sure it complicates things for public health officials at the moment.

          Kristi – what does a pig sound like when it sneezes in Spanish? I have4 yet to get a satisfactory answer to this pressing question.

          I wouldn’t even hazard a guess, Henry, for fear of being porklitically incorrect.

          Pigs don’t really sneeze, Henry. The rasher ones just ham it up.
