BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today

You are the type of person who works best when the work is most challenging. Family and friends look to you as a pillar of strength, and rightly so. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time searching the newspaper want ads trying to buy either a lazy Susan for you dining room table or a set of serrated steak knives, with durable plastic handles. Be on the lookout for slightly overweight pizza delivery guys. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter H, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 174828. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).


Is this You?

(Isn't coincidence wonderful?) My quick shopping trip for a pair of cushioned insoles, analgesic rub, and an ankle wrap is lengthened, however, by crossing paths with the normally quiet Stella von Steincamp. Stella, the pharmacist and proprietor of the Good Time Pharmacy, has taken the opportunity of our meeting to voice a rather vehement complaint over a new Shady Valley city government pharmaceutical regulation mandating the use of disposable rubber gloves when preparing and dispensing medicine. She is livid! Her primary complaint (among several) is that the cost of this regulation will send her pharmacy onto a short path into bankruptcy. In the interest of maintaining pharmaceutical services for the residents of Shady Valley, I think, would should explore this topic of government regulation.
