Nice to know someone else listens to NPR 
I caught half of that story on the way to work
I used to listen to NPR at work but then the radio broke and we haven't replaced it...

Wow, someone more of a Luddite than me. Amazing.

I picked up a few days as a relief pharmacist at a small rural hospital in N Louisiana early last month and was shocked when the administrator, a much younger gentlemen, in his mid 40's, recognized the Pelikan in my pocket.

Nice little article and NPR is fantastic. They have some great programs, still.
