24. We also supply garbage bags
Tue Jun 9, 2026, 04:25 PM
Tuesday

We give our cans and bottles, .10. So, she gets to keep our bags for her trash to haul out. It's so complicated out there. Camping in an undeveloped campground, and moving every 3 days. If you have kids you're trying to keep in school, that's a whole different hell. It's going to get worse. Some of our most popular city bus lines got cut. We knew trump was going to be horrible, but I don't think we knew just how deep the evil was going to get.

We all have to reach back and pull up as best we can. We can help just one day, hour, person... we can defeat and overcome. We can survive.

Love to you and yours. Keep fighting the Good fight! We got this!!
