Pharmalot.. Pharmalittle.. Good Morning

Top of the morning to you. And a busy one, it is. In fact, we are about to begin a brief road trip to meet some very important people, who you will read about in coming days. So please excuse any disruption in service - beyond the usual technology problems, that is - while we shuffle our priorities. Unfortunately, we are a one-person newsroom. That said, we can still be reached at - pharmalot@gmail.com - if you have any tech issues or want to tell us about something interesting. Meanwhile, here are some tidbits. Hope you have a smashing day...

Ed, Hope that you have a safe trip and encouter no additional construction issues.

Enjoy, Ed.  I look forward to hearing about the mystery guests!
I'm also wondering--once you are about leave Jersey, is there another sign, right at the border, that asks:  "Do you really want to leave New Jersey?"
thanks!

No, but there is a jug handle that tries to confuse you into turning back into the state.  And a passive aggressive sign on a bridge in Trenton saying that it gives while you take from it.
