After Hurricane Sandy, my local library had extended hours in the evenings so people could some in, charge their devices, and just spend some time in the light and warmth. (My street was without power for ten days - it's a miracle we didn't all go bonkers.)

Sending lots of love to you and the family from here in New Jersey, Gov. Shapiro - I hope whoever did this is soon brought to justice.

Every one of my little grey cells is screaming in terror at this.
