I support the spending boycott today, but:

1) our role is *citizens* and *people who deserve lives* not "consumers"

2) if we boycott *consumerism* we take power away from corporations/billionaires

Take one step at a time, but be relentless.

Truffle hunting made easy with two very good furbabies. They easily found 15-20 Oregon black truffles during our foraging class led by WildCraft. So talented! And on a perfectly PNW winter day.
