New York's all in a tizzy now because a couple of fine folks from New Mexico decided to come visit us with the Bubonic Plague. Hey, thanks! Mind you it's not contagious and they certainly contracted it at home. How do we know that? Well, fleas and a rat in their home (nice crib, folks) tested positive for the plague in July. So let me get this straight, you knew that you'd been exposed to a disease that has been dormant on the East Coast for a century but decided to come check out the sights anyhow? Wow. The NY Tourism Board is really working hard in a post 9-11 world.
