Ho-hum, bronchitis again....
I have somewhat delicate lungs, commencing about 25 years ago in the UK after working in a damp, unheated basement office that had been empty for several years. What started out as a mild cough developed into uncontrolleable coughing spasms and copious amounts of green/yellow phlegm collecting in my lungs. Several bouts of pneumonia followed.... The outcome of all this was that I moved to live in south-east Asia, where the air temperature and humidity seemed to suit my lungs better 🙂 I noticed over my 22+ years living in Thailand, Myanmar and Laos that my lungs were the happiest when living in the coastal south of Thailand, with salty sea air. However, my teaching usually took me to both Laos and Myanmar, where my bouts of bronchitis and buckets of phlegm would quickly return. I found that brisk walking each morning for say 4km would loosen up the phlegm, and so that's what I do. 2 years ago, I had a spell of teaching in Yangon. Unfortunately, my bronchitis came back with a vengeance and I had to resign from my post and return for treatment in Thailand. Recently, I have been living in Khao Lak, and my lungs have been very happy. But now I have returned to teach again in Myanmar, this time in Mandalay. You might (rightly) comment that this was a stupid move on my part, considering my lung history. But for personal reasons, I feel compelled to help the young students in Myanmar, even if it doesn't do my health much good lol So, within 2 weeks of moving to Mandalay, my bronchitis has returned. This time I am determined to 'beat' this highly-annoying problem, and not be forced to return to southern Thailand. The students really need their teacher, so I'm in no mood to abandon ship. I also wonder what exactly has caused the coughing/phlegm to flare up again. The temperature in Mandalay is still hot. The air pollution seems to be at a reasonably low level. What could it be that triggers my bronchitis? I know that bronchitis can be caused by a virus or bacteria or some kind of irritant. I doubt that the first 2 causes are responsible. I notice that I cough less if I keep my mouth closed and breath through my nose, or if I place a face-mask just over my mouth and breath through my mouth. So it seems that an irritant is most likely. But what?! Answers on a post-card please! -

Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?
My second cousin had never smoked in his life so his brother made him some marijuana cookies and they worked for him. The problem was how long it took for them to work as they have to pass through your digestive system. He was unable to go to work the following day because he was still as high as a kite. -

The losers party ,Biden bids donors farewell
Resistance , “our cause endures”. A similar resistance occurred after he was inaugurated in 2017. Trump& his grassroots movement's destroyed the propaganda machine of the left , totally hell bent on spinning public opinion!Elon ,Vivek were big influences! Bidens colossal falls, missteps and gaffes contributed to the demise. Harris campaigned on hating Trump & Traditional America, their slogan not going back was rejected by 76 million Americans ,who were fed up with the dems wokeism of they/ them. Trump won, Tradition won ! The left’s attempt at throwing 1.5 billion , 4 dem prosecutors, and a bias press lost big time. -
