In the event that it happens, I just wanted to let you all know that I hate every single one of you with every fiber of my being.
If it does not come to pass, I retract the above statement :D

Mosquitoes recovered from a pool at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia have tested positive for West Nile Virus, marking the fourth positive mosquito pool found in the county this year, the Kane County Health Department announced Tuesday.
The other three batches that tested positive were recovered from Aurora, Elgin and West Dundee. No birds have tested positive for the virus, and no human cases have been identified in Kane County this year.
"We know the West Nile virus is in our county, and regardless where a person lives or works, residents should be taking precautions to reduce their risk of exposure," said Fred Carlson, director of environmental health.
West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird.
Most people with the virus have no clinical symptoms of illness, but some might become ill three to 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito.
for those that don't know, this is where I live.
