I was reading the news from my home town today and found one reason why my upcoming trip home will be a pleasant visit:
"About 400 new statutes passed by the 2005 Legislature go into effect Monday. Most notable is the smoking ban. It prohibits smoking in public areas and places of employment, with a few exceptions for bars, designated hotel rooms, private homes, rented party rooms, tobacco stores and a few other circumstances. Bars inside restaurants must be smoke free unless the bar is in a separately enclosed area."
Right underneath that story was a reason why it may be a scary place to visit… mosquitoes!!
"N.D. reports two human cases of West Nile virus. Twenty human West Nile cases were confirmed in the state last year, and the mosquito-borne virus was blamed for two deaths."
