Mouse 3 Clue #5
 :smile:
Ana only if your board
It's hidden amongst cattails...
In 1334 an epidemic which would eventually kill two-thirds of China's inhabitants struck the northeastern Chinese province of Hopei, claiming up to 90% of the population - some 5,000,000 people. Carried along trade routes, the "Black Death," as it would soon be called, began to work its way west, striking India, Syria, and Mesopotamia.
In 1346, the Plague came to Kaffa, a Genoese cathedral city and a port central to the successful Genoese trade industry located on the Crimean Peninsula of the Black Sea. The Tartar forces of Kipchak khan Janibeg, backed by Venetian forces - competitors of the Genoese - had laid siege to Kaffa in hopes of removing the Genoese from one of the cornerstones of Europe's defense against Eastern attack and Genoa's dominance of east-west trade. Kaffa was helpless, barely able to sustain even the crudest living conditions. Finding its chief means of supplies cut off, Kaffa spent the next year watching itself decline into a hopeless state.
But then, in 1347, to the Italians' delight, their opponents began to die off at an alarming rate - Janibeg's army was overcome by the Plague. Janibeg had no choice but to call off his siege, but not until he performed one last act of warfare against Genoa. Using the catapults designed to throw boulders and fireballs over the walls of fortified cities like Kaffa, Janibeg launched the Plague infested corpses of his dead men into the city. The Italians quickly dumped these bodies back into the sea, but the damage was done. Due to the squalid conditions forced upon Kaffa by the siege, it was ripe for the quick desolation of the Plague.
How funny is that - he's launching his own dead guys as weapons.
The death rate was 90% for those exposed to the bacterium. It was transmitted by the bi fleas from infected Old English black rats. The symptoms were clear: swollen lymph nodes (buboes, hence the name), high fever, and delirium. In the worst case, the lungs became infected and the pneumonic form was spread from person to person by coughing, sneezing, or simply talking. the fleas from infected Old English black rats

One of these years, I will have time to do these hunts. I am lucky to find time to slog this board once a day.
I agree that work sucks - but it's better to work than not. Money is one necessary evil and until I win the lottery, there is no other good way to earn it.
Digressing...
I had the job interview today. I believe it went very well. Hope to hear soon.
I had one today too...
cant say it went well though...
but atleast I had one....
Here's how the humans got it originally
"The disease was transmitted primarily by fleas and rats. The stomachs of the fleas were infected with bacteria, Y. Pestis. The bacteria would block the "throat" of an infected flea so that no blood could reach its stomach, and it grew ravenous since it was starving to death. It would attempt to suck up blood from its victim, only to disgorge it back into its prey's bloodstreams. The blood it injected back, however, was now mixed with Y. Pestis. Infected fleas infected rats in this fashion, and the other fleas infesting those rats were soon infected by their host's blood. They then spread the disease to other rats, from which other fleas were infected, and so on. As their rodent hosts died out, the fleas migrated to the bodies of humans and infected them in the same fashion as they had the rats, and so the plague spread."
So the answer is fleas then right? Mice were just the poor suckers to get attacked first and the humans were too stupid to notice that a bunch of dead mice doesn't always mean it's a good thing. :chagrin:
I did see your link earlier coco but it takes me 3 times for anything to set in I guess. :wink:
magic word is our most famous falls - hidden falls?
Nice
See coco - three times :smile:
You could also look for one of these with a mouse in it. :eyeroll:
Elizabeth Browning had a poem called the "deserted garden" about running through the woods as a kid
My best guess at that point is the st. anthony heritage trail, near the old pillsbury mills. Still only a guess though.
haha - look at the link name
I have another idea I'm gonna try tomorrow just to get visuals.
NOTE THE TIME
Stewart Park on 12th and E.Franklin in Mpls?
but I've been wrong before, like 5 mins ago.
did anyone else already say that? sorry - if they did, I'm too tired to go through 1200 posts
Here's something to throw into the mix for the hell of it.

Just have to wait for another clue, feeling too :confused: to do much of any finding.
