I was just reading about West Nile disease...for a minute I misread it as West Elm Disease. (West Elm is a very stylish home furnishings catalog.)

So I guess what happens if you catch West Elm disease is you have a fever, a cough and an uncontrollable desire to order some of those chocolate-hued abstracted minimalist booksheves.....and maybe an earth-tone throw for the bed....

Minnesota's been hit hard by dutch elm....Barely any of our city elms are left, which is a shame...they were really gorgeous and old. there's still a few around, but not as many as what we once had....

Nooo, not dutch elm!
It'll eat all the west elm furniture!!!

I heard that catbirds are a big reservoir for WNV. They are a carrier, but they don't get sick, and they have enormous levels of virus in their bloodstream...

Back to the Elm theme... There's a part of Dallas called Deep Ellum (has something to do with Elm Street I reckon). It's kinda artsy kinda Bourgeois Bohemian...
