When Karen passed away, she had unused vials of Epogen (which people undergoing chemotherapy need to increase their red blood cell count). Nobody - and I mean *nobody* - would take them, even though I had three tiny little vials that would cost about $2,000 retail: I didn't want to just throw them away. But I doggedly found CrossLink International, located in Downtown Falls Church. They're a missionary service (forget the Christian aspect; they're religious in name only), and they send medical supplies to those who need them, but can't afford them. I still take comfort in thinking my Epogen might have ended up in India, or Africa, helping a cancer patient who might have otherwise died - it's probably not true, but I still tell myself that. Anyway, if you have any prescriptions (I think they need to be unopened and/or sealed, but I can't remember) that you want to dispose of, call CrossLink. Even stuff like Fentanyl patches, Percocet, etc - people really need those things in third-world countries. Please at least mentally file this away for future reference. Don Rockwell-

Regarding Martin Shkreli: Dec 2, 2016 - "Martin Shkreli: Australian Boys Recreate Life-Saving Drug" by Greg Dunlop on bbc.com And this Tweet says all that I care to say. And this one. --- Console yourself, Dagny - he's alive and well: and Phaëthon is in full control of the chariot. ALMS - Ragnar, do something to get rid of them - unless people produce, they deserve nothing. BTW, are you *sure* you're from Oslo (OSL) and not Amsterdam? Sharp, and cutting with a ruthless efficiency, like a well-honed knife without a single fingerprint on it - Thanksgiving sucks when you're the turkey.

A couple points way off-topic before hopefully circling back to the bamboo fish et al ... How can the American Phamacists Association rent that building on Constitution Avenue? (I suppose I could take one look at our medical landscape and answer that question on my own.) I suspect most people don't know which building it is, but it's one of the most extraordinary little hideaways on the north side of Constitution Avenue. There is precedent for a real restaurant occupying this side of East-West Highway with Old Homestead Steakhouse (even though it was technically on Wisconsin Avenue, it may as well have been on East-West Highway).

One point of clarification. We (don't know why I say "we" as I'm not a pharmacist) are actually the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP). The American pharmacists Association (APhA) is downtown renting space in a State Department Building. We're very different associations (some may say friendly rivals). ASHP has been a fixture in Bethesda for decades - even before we bought the building at 7272 we had rented space on Montgomery, I think. Food Wine & Co was the default restaurant for ASHP to hold business lunches at. I suspect Q will be the same.
