I used to keep all letters both received, and copies of those written by me. Then I listened to a person who denigrated this as clutter and burned it all. I feel this loss at times, such as right now when I'm reading Baldwin: A Love Story by Nicholas Boggs, and it is replete with his correspondence.

I can't stress enough that you should take every opportunity that comes your way to support your local public libraries. Many of them are currently struggling and are being DEFUNDED. Local action matters on this front. Don't sit back until those libraries are gone before taking ACTION.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
