I’ve written before about WITI (Why is this interesting), a favorite newsletter. They shared the following: “The non-profit World Is My Country Foundation, run by a former Green Beret we trust, is trying to raise $100k as quickly as possible to cover secure ground transportation to the flights. He and a small team of quiet professionals have already done a ton to help get people to safety. But there is more to do.” You can donate to the gofundme specifically for this initiative here.
As always, my friend and Afghanistan war veteran Benjamin Sledge shares his poignant perspective here.
Back to your regularly scheduled Covid commentary & checklist activities: Exercise reduces the likelihood of contracting Covid. Let’s mandate that. Pushups, situps, and squats for everyone.
Also peep this video from an incredibly well-spoken doctor. Whatever your opinion, you need to hear and listen to the other side.

Shop Shoppin’ Away
- I’m buying tires idk if y’all care but Lucas Tire on Burnet is one of my favorite car places I’ve ever been, and this is coming from someone who used to bring her laptop and work from Jeeps R Us in Laguna. Not the same situation, but the same caliber for sure.
