Thanks Cryptofish, you have eased my worries. But their is some lung hacking bacterial infection spreading to all my co-workers and family. Because of the hype on the news about Whooping Cough, I assumed that is what is was.

Just and update...I used Newspaper and Krusteaz pancake mix. And let me tell ya...rock hard!!!

Then you probably shouldn't fucking go. I'm afraid of of crashing meteor showers on the playa but I kept going. Stop with the Chicken Little Shit and either go or don't. Hope that helps.
