Plugging One Hole at a Time
Those of you on the fence, it's time for some straight talk. Our communites, our towns, our states, and our country are desperate for life-giving honesty and courage.

It’s really easy for people on all sides of this issue to take a public stance and then ignore any information that might make them reconsider it … Continue reading Taking Stock
“We Know It Works”
How many times have you heard/said those words about the Stay at Home orders, the shutdowns, the business closures? "The projections may have been wrong, but we do know the Stay at Home orders work." I was just told that yesterday by my state representative. It's just accepted as prima facie. Much like "It's got … Continue reading “We Know It Works”
