economic casualties...

All three Elephant Pharmacies abruptly closed yesterday as the company filed for Chapter 7 :(

This is an utterly Berkeley thing, a pharmacy with yoga classes in-store, herbalists and ayurvedic specialists on staff, and a little vegan mini-mart next to the rows of vitamins and supplements. But whatever they were doing from a community "vibe" standpoint was WORKING. I have been happily driving the 20 minutes over there for all my pill-buying [1] needs, even though there are probably 30 pharmacies closer to me. Waugh.

In other news, I am in Michigan today wearing my special Woad-blue corporate raider shirt, talking to [UNSPECIFIED] about assuming control of 100% of their IT functions as opposed to the 10% we do now. You may, if you wish, now imagine that LOL image titled "Hitman monkey finds no joy in his job."

[1] Oh, stop.

Ouch, ouch, ouch! about Elephant Pharmacy.

And the work sounds unfun, too. However, if you're in the university area and need food, tap me.

Aw. I never made it to an Elephants but I sure heard a lot of their ads.

Oh no!!! Brenda and I loved going there when we were in the Bay area.

Sad times.

That's me in the window of the Courtyard Marriot.

They were down in Shallow Alto too. It was like Whole Foods with 9/10 of the food gone.
