I can’t think of anything to help with your throat- but I’ll see if anyone I know has a good remedy. I have used Cloriseptic spray( probably misspelled) and that numbs temporary.

What I loved about The Book of Eli was the apocalyptic theme and the return to reading books. In fact Jacquie, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that movie becomes real life.
Hopefully not- but I could see how it would.
Have you seen the HBO series West World? It’s about the future and how technology can become so important and powerful that it evolves….I don’t want to give too much away- Anthony Hopkins stars in it.
