twitterLetter: Enjoy the time you have left
Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2001 | 9:03 a.m.
Is there a cure for the common cold? I don't think so! The large display of aspirin and such in the supermarket reminds me of the day I got my first two rabbits. There came no end to it. Ditto for the pill pushers.
Recent events jarred my memory. Some of us World War II slave laborers, now in the twilight years of our lives, once toiled at an aspirin plant making pill-boxes and such. Nowadays they also make antibiotics for anthrax.
What bugs me is why does the American consumer, because of price structure, get the shaft? It makes me mad but not afraid. I pass on aspirin anyway, in favor for my regular dose of sour mash.
Don't worry, be happy. Let's enjoy the time we've got left in the comfort of our twilight zone.
