It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Big thumbs up for #PredatorBadlands.
Clever little movie that runs about an hour and one half. See it in XD or IMAX if you can.
A worthy addition to the Predator franchise.
