Mosquitoes are even worse than we thought. In addition to what we've been reading in the news lately, they caused 214 million NEW cases of Malaria in 2015. Wow.
BUT!! There's hope ahead. The "Malaria Journal" (heady reading, I assure you) recently reported that mosquitoes don't like chickens. The scientists are still trying to zero in on just what it is they don't like... feathers? smell? clucking?... but meantime, we need to take advantage of that knowledge.
Surely there's room on your patio, deck, garage, for a few chickens to keep away those mosquitoes. And think of the side benefits... fresh eggs! Early morning alarm service for the neighborhood!
But before you head out to the hardware store for that chicken wire, let's complete our two-suited hand adventures we started last week. We're going to look at the Unusual No-trump. When we JUMP in No-trump (with some exceptions), we are telling Pard we are 5-5 in the TWO LOWEST UNBID SUITS. Can we possibly be showing a giant hand? No. If we had 18-plus points we would have doubled first.
This is a very simple bid. Let's practice.
