Hi Dave,


 RH> I probably saw it back in our old C-64 days or very early PC. IOW, the
 RH> information is probably long gone if I'd saved it then, especially if
 RH> it was on the Commodore.

 DD> I think I know where that C=64 wound up.  Bv)=

That particular one stayed in AZ when we moved to HI. A co worker of one
of our friends bought it so her kids could do word proccessing work and
have some games.

 DD> CVS torqued my jaws more than 15 years ago - by instituting a policy
 DD> that no prescription went out the door for less than U$10 ... even the
 DD> furosemide I had been buying @ U$3.95/60 (40mg) tablets until that
 DD> time. I know that competition has forced them to alter that policy.

We started with them in GA for the occaisional perscription we couldn't
get filled thru the miltary.  Here they're the most convenient one;
they're on the route Steve walks (or bikes) to school.  Since we'd been
established with them in GA, we continue to use them and have had (with
a few glitches) a good relationship.

We don't have the delivery service but the prices are decent, they
accept Tricare (our medical insurance, not all pharmacies do), and the
staff is friendly.  We get a lot of our meds thru Tricare mail order
pharmacy but there are one time perscriptions, my migraine meds and
things like that we prefer to go local on.

 DD> For instance, last time I was there they were installing an old timey
 DD> soda fountain. Yikes. I haven't had a real cherry Coke or lime
 DD> phosphate in longer than many people I know have been alive.

The drug store that my parents used when I was a kid had one of those.
About 25 years ago I took Steve down for a soda; the pharmacist (he
compounded the meds) was at the counter. When he found out that Steve
was in the Army, he got going on his time in during WWII.  I never did
get to take the girls; he passed away not too long after that, while we
were in Germany and the store was sold for another use.

These days, you hear "green river" and think of one clogged by algae.
