1984 plus 24

Big Brother is watching.

An aggravating snail-mail letter to Wife yesterday, which I had assumed was just more trash.  CVS/Caremark wanted to inform her that one of her prescriptions is now available in generic form, at considerable savings over the branded version.

We do not get our prescriptions from CVS/Caremark.  Never have.  We prefer to give such large sums of cash to the local independent, within walking distance of our humble home and run by a guy we know.  Wife's father ran an independent pharmacy for many years.

In fact, we no longer have a functioning CVS pharmacy in town...

I know some of you are Practicing Medical Professionals -- isn't there a breach of medical privacy or medical ethics hiding in here somewhere?

Grrrrr.

Remember LaVerdieres (did I even spell that right?)

Yeah. Plus, I know what the cellar looks like...
