Today is the day before the day before christmas. I have spent a great deal of the last few months, (or maybe decades) thinking that perhaps the world was a place full of assholes. States exhibit A: Me. To lessen this feeling, there is always watching the news around christmas time. There's always a great story about someone giving all their time and money to those less fortunate. This will often temporarily suspend my pessimism.
Today someone gave 1 million dollars to the people made homeless by the huge apartment fire in Burnsville. That's $17,500 per household. Then there was a story about a woman who has put together an organization to make homemade cookies for soldiers abroad. (She has now added hand knitted hats and cast covers for wounded soldiers traveling to germany)
Thanks everybody for letting me hang out and watch you be good at this "human being" thing.
