you appear to be suffering from 701-hysteria.
<snip>
***you are correct--an advanced case, and a natural progression
from hyper-658-itus (usually brought on by dabbling in the virus-infested
500 range)...
<snip>
My advice is to rest in bed for at least 7 weeks and absolutely
do not pick up your binoculars or scope for another 7 weeks.
<snip>
***bins and scope are unremovable appendages. Rest is even more elusive if
I'm not out ticking and twitching <grin>...
<snip>
Also no travel during this period.
<snip>
***tough advice for a nomad...
<snip>
That should take you safely to the end of 1998. If you choose to
ignore this advice, you may suffer permanent derangement as a
result of going over 701 birds in one year.
<snip>
***bring on the permanent derangement! <grin> Actually, I think
this probably already occurred sometime in my early childhood...
