Although we mostly look forward the warmer temperatures of summer, along with it comes the explosion of insects which seem to want to eat us alive. Indeed, many stinging and biting insects find us totally irresistible whenever we expose our skin and this then brings us problems in the end.In developing countries, malaria is a killer disease since the mosquito bites anyone who is not protected by bug spray or mosquito nets at night. Very often, those affected seek medical help much too late and death will certainly follow the infection.But in the States, malaria is not common. Indeed, what the mosquito normally carries here is encephalitis, otherwise known as West Nile Virus, and is normally found in birds. The mosquito feeds on the blood of an infected bird and the next time that it takes blood from a human or a horse, the virus is passed on.Although this bug seems to have no other purpose than to cause death and destruction wherever it goes, there is no way on earth that we will ever be rid of it. Even the sprays used to kill off the mosquitoes and the larvae it lays in stagnant water are quite toxic but man will certainly keep on trying to fight against it.There are some...more

My abode for my last two days in Detroit was the Inn on Ferry Street, a beautifully renovated complex of six historic buildings in the Midtown area of Detroit. It encompasses four mansions as well as two carriage houses that were each built for prominent Detroit families. After many years of languishing, these buildings have been re-functioned into 42 stunning guest rooms.The East Ferry Avenue Historic District is a historic area in Midtown Detroit, which is also referred to as Detroits Cultural Centre. Well-preserved elegant mansions from the 1880s and 1890s line the streets and recall an era when these villas were owned by some of Detroits wealthiest citizens. This historic district represents one of the largest and least altered collections of Detroits leading architects of the late nineteenth century.Midtown, the surrounding area, is also referred to as the Cultural Center Historic District because of its large concentration of museums, including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Museum of African American History, the Detroit Historical Museum, the Main Branch of the Detroit Public Library, the Detroit Science Centre and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
