I'd rather be writing but losing your democracy kinda puts that on the back burner.
One week boycott of Amazon, which lost $6B last month, starts tomorrow? No problem:

SHOW THEM WE WANT OUR DEMOCRACY!
ALSO for the 28th: Take out cash for spending, espec. on the 28th, if you need to shop local or buy meds, for instance.
A credit card for local/indie purchases still gives BIG Finance 3% of the purchase. We need to reduce their profits that day. CASH the 28th!

In SanAnto, Wed. learn:
Why Garcias books might appeal to kids 15–25.
The perfect way to enjoy his books?
Is Iztac on the cover wearing a bikini or less?
Is there sex in the book?

Elon Musk said not to donate to Wikipedia, so I did, for my first time! What next, Musky?

I hate Poison Plastic gifts!
I aim for non-plastic, more fun than wasting $.
Wife Carmen got corn husks n masa for 4 doz. tamales.
I'm still finishing an ipe ironwood gift.
A little girl wanted a gumball machine.
One piece of furniture is just a sketch of a gift.
So, a non-plastic feliz to U all!
