Bring out your dead

“The Colbert Report” has picked up on the fact that Denver has the bubonic plague. In City Park, about five miles or so north of the casa, several squirrels have tested positive; and apparently, one got into the city zoo, next to the park, and infected a capuchin monkey. Now all the monkeys are quarantined.

The day before the story broke, a squirrel died in our front yard. Blegh.

So, if you need proof that the Dark Ages have returned, look no further than Denver.
