The Lobo Men basketball team won another round in the NCAA playoffs this afternoon. I don’t really follow basketball, but several people in the office do, so a couple of staff set up laptops in one of our conference rooms and watched the game on the big screen while they worked on maps and web pages. Other staff had the score updates rolling across the tops of their screens, so it was hard to miss the game this afternoon.
In Plain Sight is filming on our block tomorrow morning, so they are going to have the streets closed around the office. A site manager came in this afternoon and asked for permission to use the front of our building and the reception area to do some special scenes using a small crew next week. I didn’t see any problem with it as long as they don’t damage the building.
I dropped by the pharmacy to pick up some pseudoephedrine for allergies and there were two women in front of me. I noticed they were taking a long time. When the clerk had finished ringing up the first woman, she made three trips between the register and the consulting area to move more than a dozen bottles of medications to the consulting area so the pharmacist could explain them to the woman and bag them for her. The second woman picked up nearly as many prescriptions. I thought to myself how it’s sad that people have to have so many prescriptions. I feel fortunate that I am not currently taking any prescription drugs. I only take an over-the-counter drug daily to control acid reflux, a couple of supplements, pseudoephedrine and ibuprofen occasionally, and drink super strong, black coffee.


Black coffee is good for lots of things! 🙂
That’s a stunning daddy long legs – I had no idea! Great close up and so clear.
Big Pharma does dynamite business doesn’t it? Today I bought a 100 ct bottle of the brand name acetaminophen and it was $10 – this was for an older friend whom I help by doing errands, etc. She gets confused easily, so that’s why I bought the Tylenol brand. The generic was $4.
That’s a cute photo of Lobo Louie and Lucy; go Lobos!
The pharmaceutical companies have to recoup their R&D, so I can understand the high cost of many drugs. It’s nice when drugs become generic, though. Years ago when Tagamet was prescription, it cost $60 a bottle. Now it’s $8 for the brand name and $6 for generic.
Lobo Louie looks like he has a lion’s mane–but cute. I heard the ending of the game while I was messing wih my drip system–glad they won. Did you hear that Obama picked the Lobos to make it to the “sweet sixteen.”? That would be great.
I admired your wonderful blog. first class work. I hope you produce more. I will continue reading
