I have been following the news about the recent Ebola outbreak in Africa with interest.  I am not especially afraid of contracting Ebola.  The odds of me coming into contact with someone who has the disease in the virulent stages while they are contagious are slim to none, so it's not so much personal as it is a matter of pondering the vagaries of life.  It is easy to think you are in isolation in safe little rural Minnesota, but in fact, a man was heading back to this very state from Africa when he was found to be carrying the disease from which he ultimately died.  We are not really alone in this world.
