Where’s the Outrage?

I’m in Chicago.  I’m studying…trying to study some critical care.  I arrived last night.  My cabby was from Somalia.  That was kinda of interesting.  What did cabbies do before cell phones?  He spent most of the cab ride on the phone talking to someone about something I didn’t understand.  Different language.  Really a different language.  I did have a couple of minutes to chat with him before he dropped me off at the hotel.  He has been in the US for several years.  He has not gone back to Somalia once.  He said it was too dangerous.  Too many warlords.  Interesting or was he giving me the tourist line.  I don’t know.  He did say that for the first time he is thinking about going back to visit family.  He believes that it is more stable now.  

Also, it is hot in chicago.  Hot.  The Cabby told me it was 104.  Doubt it. But is was hot and humid.  The heat index may have been 104.  The actual temp was only 94.  As a dude from Dallas, that’s nothin’!!
