No good deed is too small to matter.
Today was so windy. We did make it to the gym. We needed milk and needed to go to town, so as long as we were there, we figured we might as well hit the gym. We carefully made our way there through snowsqualls and whiteouts and little swirling snow-nados dancing across the fields.
I will take the cold. Some areas north of the New York line are slated to get 55-70 inches of snow in this storm.
I talked with a local organization. They were enthusiastic about working with us for next year's toy give-away. They wanted to work with us as soon as they saw the write-ups in the paper. She guarantees, at a minimum, 300 toys. She also hooked me up with a contact that might enable us to add bikes to the giveaway.
I am just so amazed at how an entire community has caught this vision. It is a nice counterbalance to the shitshow unfolding around us.
That seems an insane amount of snow. Facebook yesterday had some AI photos of a city in Russia with snow drifts up and above (behind) some multi-level blocks of flats. They've certainly overdone it a tad but it looked scary.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that your Christmas scheme has really taken off and it mut be so heartening and a good distraction from all the bad news in the States.
That "Hell Freezes Over" meme is funny and so on-point. My apartment's windows are all welded shut from the zero temps. But why would I want them open anyway? It is brutal out there!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a serious storm on the way.. getting out to the gym while you could still safely do that made sense.
ReplyDeleteThe toy giveaway is....snowballing!!
