precipitation in the forecast.

long journey. He’s in Mexico City for a few days before his flight to Spain.

local Walgreen’s Pharmacy was closed. I headed over early today to pick up my
script. It turns out one of the two pharmacists got a promotion and there was
no pharmacist to be there Saturday. This seems to be a corporate problem that
could have been prevented with a little preparation.
I’m shocked by the shootings in Shreveport,
Louisiana. There was a domestic situation at different locations. In total 8
children were killed and several others were wounded. The shooter was also shot
and is expected to recover.
