This is what community looks like. Lines of cars in three directions to drop off food for Evanston’s emergency mutual aid day. If you have gift cards or small packages and you can walk over like someone will take them from you. If you’re driving keep coming. Police doing a great job with traffic.

Today is the birthday of Vaclav Havel, poet, playwright, essayist, democracy activist, first democratically elected President of Czechoslovakia and then the Czech Republic, and serious Bob Dylan fan. So many lessons to be learned from his life and work.
