Since they keep announcing a huge blood shortage, I signed up to give blood today (its cool to be able to register online and find out the nearest locations, etc.) But after waiting down there an hour I found out that I'm apparently a risk for mad cow since I lived in France for more than three months since 1980. Doesn't seem to matter that I don't eat beef, though I can't remember if I was eating it when I lived there. Oh well, maybe they'll lift the ban at some point. I was just trying to help.
