The little deaf dog. She was always polite when asking to share a meal.

Spotted in an IL thrit store. I wish I had bought it but I was distracted by my mission of buying up candles on May 17 for NSTL tornado victims.

Jake Wheeler, Chad Jackson, and Nathan Dick were working on roofs in KHWY East on the day I was delivering cooling vests I'd bought for them.
Along the drive I was handing out cooling hoodies and towels to men I saw working on buildings. A lot of people assumed I was with a church. I'm not.
100Roofs.com was working on Paris Ave. Jake asked me how I was and I told him that I was angry that thousands of white people showed out to protest last weekend but won't cross the Divide to help in NSTL.
Jake pointed to a remaining pile of debris on the street saying that the City declined to pick it up becuase bricks were 'mixed in'. The City isn't picking up bricks. Jake: Does that look like a mixed pile to you?
And so tornado debris remains.
