Another drive-out day--"early June"

Jack and I will not be driving today. For different reasons, neither of us can avoid driving next Saturday (first Saturday in June), so we are making up for it in advance.
It is again a beautiful day in Reno, and we will enjoy staying around our apartment, or taking a walk or bike ride.
The bill signed this week means that this war will not start winding down for several months, at least, but we should not give up. And we can work all the harder against global climate change! I note the work at the Environmental Defense Fund website on a Declaration of what it now means to be a patriot. I call on all you patriots to chime in!
My heart is full as I hold in it several things:
  • Jack's 98-year-old aunt, who was hospitalized yesterday with what is likely terminal heart failure.
  • His other coastal Georgia relatives and my coastal Florida relatives (East Coast), with the prediction of a very active hurricane season, fueled by the warming waters of the Atlantic.
  • Our oldest son's birthday tomorrow, which several years ago his brother made into a new holiday--ThanksBrian Day--just half-way around the year from Thanksgiving Day. May 27 is a day to seek out ten people in your life and tell them that you are thankful for what they have done in the past year (or better yet, invite them to a potluck party, to which they may invite the ten people they want to thank).

Thank you to all who are with us in driving out war!
