One Pharmacist's View

It’s February AgainFebruary just kinda sneaks up on us and I know it seems like it will last forever. That may be part of the reason “they” chopped off a few days to reduce the time we have to wait on Spring.

Do You Know Your Horse Heroes?When I was yet a schoolboy over at Stonewall, my night job was running the projectors at the local movie house. The Main. People sometimes would stop me and ask me about their favorite movie star. It was usually a horse.

It wasn’t until the middle of 1942 that we Centrahoma folk realized we faced yet another wartime hardship. The great coffee shortage. Seemed like it affected our fellow Americans too. We were each buying and consuming 20 pounds of coffee per year in 1942. But no worry.

Different Strokes I was just reading about how folks across the plains are taking the election results of last week. Reminds me of 1944 when the papers (back east) whined and moaned how our “system” allowed such a mental midget (Truman) to replace our late great Roosevelt.He was who he was.

Going Through Airport Security Seeing what a danger terrorism is to the flying public made me glad to see security was on the lookout for my safter one morning not so long ago. Keeping us safe. Several recent test attempts to smuggle fake bombs, guns aboard passenger planes were successful.

Sure, I know the Olympics brought some of you a lot of pleasure. The opening ceremonies were nice. I guess. The hosts (The city of Paris) were gifted with a two week non-stop exhibition subsidized by people like NBC and willing spectators who were looking for a good reason to go to Paris anyway.

August Sunlight This summer we have seen our usual hot sunshiny days of over 100F with the sun’s angles being sharp and anxious to inflict skin cancers. Just another proven fact we chose to ignore each summer.

Before I get into what this newish word “BRAT” means, let’s talk about Trump’s right ear. It got shot. Didn’t it? Well, pictures of the Donald which show that side of his head doesn’t really show it shot off, now that the bandage is off.

Just Another Case Of “There You Are”My late cousin, Walker D. ( Corky) Ray, often used this phrase when some sort of impossible situation arose. A situation that seemed to have no logical answers. Such a situation seems to face we Americans today. It’s called the Biden-Trump dilemma.

Some of you may know that I went traveling this past weekend — up to St Louis ’s Missouri. It’s a long trip up I-44 and back, but I made it. Due to my old age, I took my personal doctor, Ron, and my private nurse, Pat, with me. It was a hard trip but worth it.
