I would accept in a heartbeat if I could get there Lakota Man. My wise mother raised me with native American values not because of heritage, but by choice. I am so glad she did.

Money never comes free, Maitreya. There is always some form of cost.

That's telling them, Brown Eyed Susan. :)

I cannot, nor ever will, understand how Harris/Walz lost the election. Thank goodness for Blue Sky where compassionate and innovative people reside.

Better yet, Maitreya, perhaps finding ways to help those who need out of the "hole" to dig themselves out with dignity. :)

Lord help us.

I'd be recycling that hat to keep my ears warm. :)

That's what it is like, yes.

AMEN!

Thank you Ashi. You give me hope that our political spring will come again.

I was heartbroken and still am.

It always amazes me that media can post images of felons wherever they seem to be, yet no one can apprehend them.

How cute is that!!! :)

I also have seen poverty up close having spent time as an advocate for "Suitcase City" in Tampa, Florida. I can tell you from experience that many of the people there were simply poor and trying to hold their families together in the midst of crime in a community where police wouldn't even go into.

Most Americans live in isolation. There is no sense of community or its needs.

The teething puppy has guilt written over his beautiful little face.

I think most people are expecting that, Sir. Unfortunately, fear of the future is rampant in all media, and people always fear the unknown. People need hope. Without it there is no survival.

In my old neighborhood in Florida community bikes were stolen as fast as they could put them down, so they discontinued the service. Before I had problems walking, I loved my bike. A cargo bike would be great for shopping.
