Always a boost for the morale! Thank you, it is sooo easy to get off-kilter @ times.

Now if I could just channel some divinity & complete several major tasks.... or just 1 ; )

Reminds me of "The Last Waltz" too, 'don't care, if the money's no good'

((I'd care a lot less were the dark money out of the way!)) Always a joy to read. thx

Jessica- thanks for all you do!!

Just wanted to share how you motivated a small group of us. We responded to the call to arms for National High School registration week. Short story (believe me it is a long one)Sent the email from YOU. Did the civic center.org training (amazing!) gathered volunteers including a student who handled on line media announcements and did it!

We were told we would get none, but got 7, and handed out some more QR codes. Confirmed 2 more with another link from Chop Wood, Carry Water. I would enclose some pics but not sure how.

We are now hoping to do the other High School in town.😉

I ditched my television two years ago and have not regretted it. It is much more productive to glean from the erudite writers on Substack, including: Heather Cox Richardson--Letters from an American, Lucian Truscott IV. TCinLa, Robert Hubble, and recently, Chop Wood, Carry Water. Ya'll carry on doing what you do best.

Thanks so much, Andrea! I know and love all of those except for TCinLa, of whom I have never heard. I'll have to check them out! I also recommend the Status Kuo. Jay Kuo is excellent -- his newsletter makes a great complement to the others you've listed. https://statuskuo.substack.com

Thanks, Terry! And I believe you can 'join" the Grapevine conversation, but it's not necessary. Thank you so much for your donation!
