The Slice: It’s an orderly transition to good health

Spokane Valley’s Christine Celestino has a few questions for people who take multiple pills or supplements at more or less the same time.

“High-profile local buildings you’ve never been inside: Barbara Smith has never set foot in the Spokane Arena.

Gary Smith has never been inside the Coeur d’Alene Resort.

Marc Trivelpiece has never been in the Corner Club in Moscow (proclaimed one of the nation’s best sports bars by Sports Illustrated).

Pam Pierson has not set foot in the ONB building.

Barry Barfield has never been in the Clock Tower.

And Gary Polser said he’s never been in the Spokane County Jail.

“Lost and found: An employee of KMBI-FM discovered a wallet in the landscaping outside the radio station.

It belonged to a South Hill woman named Jan. She was called to come collect the wallet.

“I attended my 40th, 50th and 55th reunions at Gonzaga Prep,” he wrote. “What I was most glad about was that I was the only one who had not aged.”

“Maybe it’s not supposed to be taken literally: A colleague saw a “These Colors Don’t Run” bumper sticker where the red and blue were almost completely faded.

“Speaking of signs: Have you noticed the ones where some unauthorized editor turned “Parking” into “Barking”?

“Today’s Slice question: Preparing which of your favorite dishes is certain to prompt a member of your family to make an unhappy face and demand, “What’s that smell?”
