On The Road Again...


I have to admit... Taking Amtrak, while expensive, is a darn sight more convenient than driving. After all, you can drink a beer, get online and get to where you're going without traffic jams (driving) or random security checks (flying). Mass transit certainly has its place in my world!

Glycol Poisoning


Obviously, this is a tragedy. Something needs to be done to hold people accountable for their actions. Testing should also be taking place at every significant step in the process of developing, producing and distributing medication (among other things).
In this day and age of global access to materials, it's a double-edged sword to cut corners. It certainly applies pressure to the market and can yield terrific dividends in the form of higher operational margins but there is a responsibility to ensure that we all do our best to ensure the survivability of the species. If we don't, then perhaps we don't deserve to survive.
