My paternal grandfather helped build an airfield in rural Aiken, MN.
The walls and pathways around the parkway along the Mississippi river & Minnehaha creek & falls were WPA construction. 🥰

Glad you're okay, and car, too. I once touched someone's bumper - no mark on either car; he got out and looked at both, shrugged and said "no harm, no foul" and we both carried on, carefully 😳

I remember finding and buying a first edition of the Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf (not too pricy at an antiquarian bookstore near the U of MN) in 1979 or so and picking it up again this last week while sorting mountains of books to donate to the library (it stays, dear Reader).

You mean "family members with disabilities" perhaps? Some of these are aunties & uncles. Or did you intend to infantilize folks with disabilities (again, some more)? Good article on the need for public benefits & support, failure on the collective noun for disabled folks (adult children ain't it).

You're right. Sorry! I do recommend re-reading Witch King immediately prior as I didn't and have had a hard time recalling the who & where, though that could just be me.

Good. Let Target die desparate. They'd have a huge public apology and a heckuva lot of reparative justice work to do to dare show their corporate face in public, and we see none of that. For shame on them.
