This guy's insulin prescription is stuck in that Louisville Kentucky post office mess. We're having to make an emergency purchase that'll cost us $30 more for a bottle. Ironically, we paid extra to have his prescription sent to Chewy via priority mail.

Seriously. You don't mess with Marilyn Whirlwind. She's a national treasure.
Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.
Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
