We rescue dogs
We rescue dogs without thinking of each other.
With zip ties, we attached a tree branch with limbs to a utility pole. We hang coats on it that we buy at the thrifts. We roll washed socks & gloves into the pockets.
You can also do this if inclined. Just watch the weather to avoid rain in the forecast.
Post a sign that says Free Coats.
Do not photograph yourself doing this. Don't make it about you.

Downtown Famous Barr Escalator
Yours Truly worked at the DT Famous Barr in the mid to late 70s. It was quite the retail landscape.
I recall this escalator on one of the upper floors. By the time I worked there the lower floors had been replaced with wider, steel escalators.

So I'm having lunch with this man I've been hanging with and I notice we're both dressed in black.
I say: Hey, the mortuary called and they want their suit back. Showing out my wit, right?
He scowls at me and says: Hey, the CONVENT CALLED AND THEY WANT THEIR VIRGIN BACK.
As I blushed the server (a friend of his) looks at me and says: So, what's it going to be?

10 years later, I don't recall who that was.
