If you’d like to join me in helping Lakota families and/or rural libraries this year, please read this post. Over 6 weeks in 2019, we raised $2669.94 for the Lakota families, touching 27 lives. What can we do in 2020?
Current total: Lakota, $1,886.35; Rural libraries, $346.69.
That California uses prisoners to fight fires and then deports them is sickening.
That the IRS finds it more efficient to audit the poor than the super wealthy is no surprise but it’s also incredibly frustrating to read.
A sobering look at America from another perspective: “In the last three months America has lost more people than Sri Lanka lost in 30 years of civil war. If this isn’t collapse, then the word has no meaning.”
I went through this explainer for the propositions on the CA ballot and found it a very helpful summary. Thanks, Cloud!
I thought our real estate adventures were moving fast, but Ali and Alison powered through their home purchase in a blink of an eye.
Penny and her family bought a new to them car. I’ve spent a long while thinking we needed to replace one of our cars this year as they age. They are both past 200,000 miles so it’s only a matter of time. With the two big dogs and the long distance driving we do a few times a year, it seemed best to be financially prepared for the inevitable. But with the pandemic, we’re not traveling. Where are we going in 2020 that requires luggage? Nowhere! It’s probably not happening through some significant part of 2021, either. So I have another year to save up.

Things are still hard. The world is still insane. But none of that will matter soon because my son is going to be an international soccer star and buy us a new life. pic.twitter.com/EZfejbNKwt
