Snow day in central Ohio. Fortunately, not long after I took this photo, my kind neighbor cleared our driveway -- all 400 feet of it! -- with his tractor. There are good people in the world.

I'm honestly pretty frustrated with the people who are insisting that there's One Right Way to feed other people during the SNAP crisis, because this is an all-hands-on-deck moment.
We need people donating money to food banks *and* cooking for community fridges *and* buying groceries for neighbors

Trying to live the two great commandments and the eightfold path is the best way I can think of to keep from letting the current political situation overcome me. I am primarily Christian and secondarily Buddhist in my religious outlook,a pragmatist in my philosophical outlook -- and an outraged vet.
