Mr Sun and I waved to thousands at the big Manlius Parade this morning.  We threw whatver we had to the crowd: candy, t-shirts, movie posters, even coloring books!  Had the pleasure of lining up with the Syracuse Brigadiers Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps… GREAT people!

Literally a blast, with great fireworks at the end.  I was supposed to start my vacation on Saturday, but postponed it since I don’t want to miss this!  Music, food, fireworks, fun for the whole family (kids FREE!) and great weather predicted.  Rick, Ted, Ed, Mr Sun and I will emcee ay Chevy Court, Fairgrounds.  See you Saturday!

Remember when you’d hear a loud knock on the door and you’d scurry to the bathroom and flush the drugs down the toilet (well, I once saw that in a movie … )? This morning I spoke to Mike Duteau, registered pharmacist and the director of pharmacy operations for Kinney Drugs.  He said that in the old days we were told to flush our expired medicines down the toilet. However,  it was discovered that some of the drugs would end up in our drinking water.  So PLEASE don’t do it anymore!  Here’s a better way: this Saturday come to Kinney Drugs Medicine Collection Day at the Kinney Drugs Store located at the intersection of Electronics Parkway and 7th North Street in Liverpool (right next to the Holiday Inn). Clean out your medicine cabinet and drop off your old, expired or unused medications and they will properly destoy it to help prevent accidental poisonings, substance abuse and environmental pollution.
