Goodbye, Albright & Raw

What a damned shame.

Kathe and I had a good time yesterday, going through the near-vacant Albright & Raw Rexall store, buying a few of their remnants of stock. Just a few items left in their storerooms, and then it's gone.

What a damned shame.

Still, it was fun, buying a pill bottle here, a cardboard box there. A bottle of scary-sounding asthma medication to give to Waldy.

But what a damned, ruinous, totally unnecessary shame.

Shame on George W. Bush, whose dingbat Medicare scheme destroyed independent drug stores like Albright & Raw.

Just a damned shame.

Well, that's too bad. Typical. Maybe they should have put a Starbucks franchise in a corner of it...

Why don't you take this post down? After all: "I tried to make Kathe happy. I tried for months, I tried for years, Hell, I tried for 23 years, let's face it. She was never happy. Not with me, probably not with anybody."

So, you know, we didn't really have a good time. You didn't even think we had a good time. It was just another lie.
