People are organically shifting to taking care of one another and beginning to rediscover interconnectedness. There’s something growing and it doesn’t matter that it isn’t being harnessed by a political party. At some point it will shift the balance of power.

Do you hate driving in snow? Have a new driver who needs to learn? Take advantage of today’s snow!
Go find an unplowed empty parking lot (schools, business parks, offices, etc) and PRACTICE!
Starts, stops, slamming on the brakes, turns without fishtailing. Get comfortable in snow!
