One Pharmacist's View

City Traffic One thing that causes me happiness is that I don’t live in a large city. Sure, there are times I wish for some of the perks that come with urban living but all in all I’m used to the rural life and guess I’ll never change. All this to take my turn complaining about traffic.

Are we Midgets or Mustangs? A story made its way to me from Dr. Ron Bullard via his brother, Steve, last week. It is a long ago story about the Allen Mustang (oops, I mean Midgets) back in the fall of 1926.

The drought is over. It has now rained enough everywhere that the USA is soaked. Lakes are filled and yes--I’ve had enough. It was raining about everywhere on my recent road trip to Miami, Florida and points in between. In between rains it was very hot.

Much of the world is fascinated by Kim Jong-Un and the mode of travel he used to meet President Trump in North Vietnam. Jong took the train. His train. To get there Kim had to cross North Korea, China and then North Vietnam itself. I don’t know about you but I had no idea you could even do that.

It was April Fool’s day and what happened? Not much here in Allen. But it didn’t use to be that way. People have “nearly” always enjoyed a good joke. As long as it’s not on them. No. I’m not going to reprint a list of April Fool’s Jokes that have taken place over the years.

One Pharmacist’s View “Is it OK for us to park out here tonight?” The guy was a gypsy. He was pulling a little metal camper trailer and dad looked him over and said, “go ahead.

Heard someone carrying on about how long this winter has been. Not only longer but colder than normal. Something called an Arctic bomb flew in on the jet winds and settled over our area last week extending winter yet another little while.

The Flu “ain’t” finished with us yet. It’s usually winding down by March but not this year. About 36 million Americans have had experience with this flu so far. Not all came out OK on this in spite of a vaccine that helped a lot with this season’s bug.

Kim Jong-Un boarded his train for Hanoi Saturday with what seemed to be half of the city of Pyongyang going with him. Kim and President Trump are to have another big meeting this week and Kim likes his train.

Not very many nuggets of good news that I could find this week. For instance, Notre Dame University just covered up all Murals of Christopher Columbus because Native American’s say that they discovered America--not Christopher. And utter nonsense continues to rule in New York City.
