On the illness front...Last night I was awake until a bit after 9 p.m. That hasn't happened in a while. I also slept for just over 9 hours (which is a good bit less than I've been sleeping recently). I also didn't wake up in the middle of the night coughing. So I'm on the right track.
I spent a little time checking out one of my all time favorite maps:
1981 WOC.
Back when I did a lot of map study, this was one of the maps I spent a lot of time looking at.
