A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Oasis is a Canadian brand in the mean time and Minute Maid is bottled here using

There's already too few Rangers in the park. Dangerously few. Trump wants to cut $587 million from the NPS budget. (17%).

This means our national parks will be even more vulnerable to poaching.
