I wrote about the weight of books and what it means to get rid of (some of) them: www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ar...

Karl Whitney: Difficult decisions you have to face when the books pile up

Posting just in case anyone has a puppy (like mine) who loves eating Birkenstocks and is looking for another pair. I ordered a replacement pair from The Craft Shop in Bantry, #Cork. They were fast, item perfect, and free shipping for the price of most shoes. Couldn't have been easier. #shoplocal

“This is about defiance. It’s about doing the right thing... And even if we fail, at the very least, we didn’t contribute to the problem.”

These words aren't defeatist, but a realist expression of our choices: give up, or go down fighting with a chance. ✊️
