The next day

Far be it from me to wax philosophical, but when you're in a situation like this you really can see who is nice and who isn't. We packed all of our prescription drugs, and of course didn't have enough, so I went for a walk (no, we didn't take in the Chicago nightlife, which is very nice) and found a Walgreens,, where the pharmacy staff jumped through all kinds of hoops to get us an emergency supply. Hopefully we'll see more of the nice types today on our way to Japan and China.
