All the stoplights on Indianola Ave were out...not flashing, no stop signs, just completely out. And I learned there are 2 kinds of people --those who just drive right through and those who stop and treat it like a 4-way stop. I tried to call 4 times to report it but nobody ever answered the phone.

There's a puzzle in our break room at work that people work on over lunch or at breaks. I was working on it yesterday afternoon and a dude came down and started sorting pieces. He didn't say a word to me. Trying to be friendly I asked "Do you do puzzles at home?"

It's payday and I just donated to my friend's GoFundMe to help her cover costs of travel to/from Minneapolis and to keep her medic kit fully stocked. If you can spare a few bucks for the cause I know she would be so grateful. I can personally vouch for her and the good work she does.
Boost! We are stalled and trying to prep for the next trip to provide medical aid to protesters in Minneapolis and those coming out of Whipple. Every bit counts, even a reblog. We have been able so far to get blankets, cots, cold weather gear...we can keep it up with your help!
