KFON's playing an odd but delightful mix of huapango and Vicente Fernandez ranchera, plus reports that Los Tigrillos and Michael Salgado are both going to be in town somewhere soon, maybe this weekend. Forbes magazine reports that the guy behind Green Mountain Coffee has an exclusive deal with Exxon convenience stores and that, what's more, he was one of two who each netted $3.1 million from the sale of EZWider papers. Having decided that last night it was time for old prescriptions to go, I was surprised to learn that the two most recent were both in 1995, for eye infections, from a doc-in-the-box that no longer exists. The third most recent were from 1984, completely unused, prescribed by a dentist for use if needed following a root-canal experience. Also out went an over-the-counter antihistamine that expired in early 1994. I think some new Drixoral is in order for this year, since for the first time since 1984 something is bothering the old sinuses. Would I use more medicine if we hadn't grown up relying on BFI powder, epsom salts, Vicks, mustard plasters, and witch hazel as our sole medicaments? I wonder.
