Spent the morning calling pharmacies to find someone with one of my meds in stock. I know somewhere a computer knows, but even the pharmacists don’t really know if a different store has it. Plus, the joy of NOT being able to move a prescription. Need a whole new one! Got it done, except pick up.

If one has the opportunity to free people from slavery, what is less moral? Saying no or killing a single white person in the process of saving eleven black people? For Brown, the answer was obvious.
