I could do the usual Thanksgiving day post about how glad I am to tick boxes in the upper half of Maslow’s hierarchy, but since I’m currently reading The Hot Zone (amazon | kobo) I think I’ll just be thankful that I don’t have Ebola. I mean, sure, it’s entered North America, but to live in a place where it can (hopefully) be contained and isn’t a virtual death sentence is a stroke of luck and happy circumstance that doesn’t escape me.
