Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Hello, everyone. And how are you this morning? We are scurrying about as we try to hustle the short people off to the schoolhouse. As usual, time is tight (anyone remember Booker T & The MG's?). To get going, yes, we are quaffing still another cup of stimulation and, as always, invite you to join us. Meanwhile, here are a few items of interest. And let us know if you come across one that we would like to know about. Have a great day...
