Bill who has a 3 WEEK HEAD COLD

About 2 months ago, we had a regional cold going around. It would
briefly set up in your head, and then go to your chest. After a day or 2
you'd feel better, only to come down with it again. The only consistent
thing about it was a dry cough. It lasted about 3 - 4 weeks.

Snap! That mongrel seems to have spread around the globe.
