It's a calm, sunny week here in Miami Beach. The predictions of a horrific hurricane season aren't panning out. The Verizon IPhone is about to be released, giving us an option to AT&T. About time, right?
Meanwhile, Serena Williams is back with her boyfriend, rapper Common, they're having fun here in our beach town - and bringing lots of global media attention to our spot of the world (lots of pix of Serena in a bikini are popping up all over the web this morning) as a great place to get away and have a fun time (thanks as well to the Kardashians for their promotional efforts as well, of course).
On the Miami Dolphins front, we're waiting for the Green Bay Packers in Week 5 and not looking in the rear view mirror (which might be painful).
In other words: it's a great week to be living and working in Miami Beach. And somehow, this helps to clarify just how horrific prescription drug abuse can be.
This week, we're looking into prescription drugs and how they are hurting people in this country - maybe the recent death of Greg Giraldo helped bring this situation to our attention. However, it's not like we weren't aware of the dangers of pharmaceuticals before now. It was there, it was around, it was in the news.
Now, though, we're proactively investigating its scope, and its depth, in our community and across our country. Baby Boomers are being hurt and killed by this. Babies and small children, ditto. It's bigger than we realized, and we're betting it's a bigger problem than many readers are aware.
Studying overdoses on a pretty, pleasant day isn't easy. But it's really making it clear how life is supposed to be - and by the comparison, how premature death by drug overdose is truly, truly wrong.
