    Agatha Macbeth: Hi Wollie
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello K
    Wol Euler: are you on the text viewer, korel?
    Agatha Macbeth: You look a bit grey I must say
    Wol Euler: looks fine to me :)
    Wol Euler: give it a bit
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
    Agatha Macbeth: In out in out, shake it all about
    Wol Euler: if you are on the text viewer, I'll syy that you are inn a good and convenient posi8tion now
    Wol Euler: ah, well done :)
    Korel Laloix: heya.
    Korel Laloix: Sorry, not the best internet here.
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah you managed to sit
    Wol Euler: I'm surprised that you are doing so well, to be honest
    Wol Euler: where are you now?
    Korel Laloix: Kitgum
    --BELL--1315
    Korel Laloix: There is a good hospital and an airport here, so not that out of things.
    Agatha Macbeth: Shades of Pila
    Wol Euler: are you based at the hospital? I'm curious about what you are doing there, in as much deail as you want to say :)
    Korel Laloix: Mostly we are doing DNA samples of people that we can confirm are survivors... and the close relatives.
    Korel Laloix: But there are other things as well.
    Korel Laloix: Picking up samples from suspected reservoir/vector species.
    Wol Euler: cool
    Wol Euler: ah, so people do survive the disease? I believed that the mortality rate was 100%
    Korel Laloix: Lots of drving, very little actually work though. But getting a lot read and listened to on the drives.
    Korel Laloix: No, with high-end medical care the survival rate is qute high with most strains.
    Korel Laloix: but with Africa health care, it can be quite low.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    Korel Laloix: It is a frightening thing to mention to people here so we are not saying what we are doing for teh most part.
    Korel Laloix: Medical teams over in west Africa are getting killed trying to help.
    Wol Euler: indeed
    Korel Laloix: But I think there will be some good that comes out of this.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: Where are you now at the hosptital?
    Wol Euler: and it will be an incredible experience for you too, whatever does come out
    Korel Laloix: No, at a nearby hotel/resort place.
    Agatha Macbeth: I see
    Korel Laloix: 1130pm here or so.
    Agatha Macbeth: Same time zone as Sun
    Wol Euler: Fugly's Kitgum?
    Korel Laloix: lol.. no.
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Agatha Macbeth: ?
    Wol Euler: named in the Wikipedia article on Kitgum
    Wol Euler: "bar, restaurant and accomodation"
    Agatha Macbeth: I've never heard of it
    Wol Euler: you have now.
    Korel Laloix: We are in KRH, whatever that stands for.
    Korel Laloix: Not a bad place, not the worst since we have been here.
    Korel Laloix: But I think time for bed. Trying to work on something like a sleep pattern.
    Agatha Macbeth: Best of luck with that
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: good luck, and take care
    Wol Euler: I admire you for doing this, korel
    Agatha Macbeth: ♥
    --BELL--1330
    Korel Laloix: Thanks.. This is certainly something ot remember.
    Korel Laloix: Take care al... ciao
    Agatha Macbeth: Amazing girl
    Wol Euler: indeed
    Agatha Macbeth: How's Wol?
    Wol Euler: cheery
    Wol Euler: full of tea and cookies
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh good
    Wol Euler: and Aggers?
    Agatha Macbeth: Tired
    Agatha Macbeth: Was QT here earlier?
    Wol Euler: not while I was here
    Wol Euler: he did come to my 1am
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how his cycling is coming along
    Agatha Macbeth: Glad he's keeping fit anyway
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: another person making admirable progress
    Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully
    Wol Euler: I infer that he
    Wol Euler: he's still at it
    Agatha Macbeth: Bless him
    Wol Euler: he drops pictures from his "being a tourist at home" set into the chat logs still
    Wol Euler: so he's getting around somehow
    Agatha Macbeth: Not sure I envy him cycling on Italian roads they way they drive
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Agatha Macbeth: Or paddle in the case of Venice
    Wol Euler: indeed
    Wol Euler: it would be wonderful to canoe around Venice, but it would also be taking your life in your hands to do so
    Agatha Macbeth: Could use a speedboat perhaps
    Wol Euler: noisy
    Wol Euler: have you ever been in a canoe?
    Agatha Macbeth: No
    Agatha Macbeth: Not much call for them round here
    Wol Euler: it's a very special sensation
    Wol Euler: not at all like a powerboat, hardly even like a rowboat
    Wol Euler: they are very low in the water, it feels like you are hardly higher than the ducks
    Wol Euler: and silent
    Agatha Macbeth: Quack
    Wol Euler: and they can get anywhere, in as little as three centimetres of water or so
    Agatha Macbeth: Good lord
    Agatha Macbeth: Have you been in one then?
    Wol Euler: indeed
    Wol Euler: several times
    Wol Euler: highly recommended
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh wow
    Agatha Macbeth: The guys in Hawaii 5-O must have liked it, they did it evry week
    --BELL--1345
    Bruce Mowbray: 's current display-name is "Bruce".
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Brucie
    Bruce Mowbray: (I do not mean to interrupt....)
    Agatha Macbeth: Hope you're well
    Wol Euler: not at all!
    Agatha Macbeth: Not interrupting anything dear
    Wol Euler: hello bruce, glad to see you again
    Bruce Mowbray: kk, ty.
    Agatha Macbeth: Good to see you
    Wol Euler: you were missed
    Agatha Macbeth: And Blub
    Bruce Mowbray: TY TY TY!
    Bruce Mowbray: My typist has been watching the climate conference March in New York City all day!
    Bruce Mowbray: well, at least for the last four hours he has.
    Agatha Macbeth: Looking very green I might add
    Bruce Mowbray: Green is good!
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh good
    Agatha Macbeth: Looking and acting then
    Bruce Mowbray: to be sure!
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonderful
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Bruce Mowbray: also a big march in London, as I understand it,
    Agatha Macbeth: I think I saw something going on in SL about it too
    Bruce Mowbray: and elsewhere all around the world.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well if anyone actually takes notice it will help
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, it also occurred to me that this might be more preaching to the choir.
    Agatha Macbeth: Or teaching them to sing :p
    Bruce Mowbray: (to those who already had the message, as it were.)
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Bruce Mowbray: Well, I just hope were not all singing underwater....
    Agatha Macbeth: Blub may be
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if fish make a noise?
    Bruce Mowbray: I think my typist especially enjoyed seeing New York again....
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh you did?
    Agatha Macbeth: Great
    Bruce Mowbray: nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: He has walked the route of the March several times himself.
    Agatha Macbeth: Glad to hear you can still travel
    Bruce Mowbray: oh no. My typist is not travel anymore, except in his visions.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh
    Agatha Macbeth: This wasn't recently then?
    Bruce Mowbray: and also on days like today when he can view the events in real time.... through the Internet, of course.
    Bruce Mowbray: They march in New York was just today . . . . and it is probably still going on,
    Bruce Mowbray: but my typist can only see it through the Internet.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well I'm glad about that anyway
    Bruce Mowbray: btw, Happy Solstice!
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm not much of a treveller myself any more
    Bruce Mowbray: isn't today the day that night and day are equal?
    Wol Euler: ah yes, the 21st
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes it is: thanks
    Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
    Wol Euler: equinox, rather
    Agatha Macbeth: Never even noticed
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, Equinox!
    Bruce Mowbray: My typist did not notice, either, until it was mentioned during the march....
    Bruce Mowbray: that's how far out of touch with nature he is, alas.
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: Same here it seems
    Wol Euler: well in fairness it's not as if the sun holds up a sign
    Wol Euler: the difference is only a few seconds a day
    Bruce Mowbray: And in defense of my typist, he actually lives with more " nature" than most folks encounter in their entire lives, since he lives in a forest.
    Wol Euler: also true :)
    Agatha Macbeth: With the squirrels
    Wol Euler: um, two minutes to Berti
    Bruce Mowbray: two minutes to Burtie!?
    Agatha Macbeth: Actually I'm off to bed, I'll give it a miss tonight
    Bruce Mowbray: Bye for now, then, aggers.
    Wol Euler: awwww
    Wol Euler: sleep well, aggers
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye folks
    Agatha Macbeth: Meditate well
    Wol Euler: thanks :)
    Agatha Macbeth: TC Brucie, good to see you
