M. G. Robertson. Wow.

I'll have to spend some more time looking into Operation Blessing. I tend to think of them as being like Samaritan's Purse (which Franklin Graham uses as his cover to make himself look like a decent human being). But, ... damn ... If they're there doing real work and trying to distance themselves from Patty-Bob (my brother's nickname for Pat Robertson ... actually, I think it came from a conversation for what celebrities should use as drag queen names, but that might or might not be super-important right now).

Where was I?

Oh, yeah. Thank you for giving us some stories about what is happening down there and especially what's good.

I would have thought that Home Depot would be slammed right now with people trying to make repairs and such. I guess it makes sense ... If you're waiting for your whole house to be rebuilt, you don't need a new dimmer switch just yet.

As for the different presidential candidates and their responses: One of them wanted a photo op on-site but has done literally nothing for the affected people. The other is helping supervise getting the work done to help the people who have been affected.

John, I hope you continue to be safe and take care. Also, I'm now willing to drop a donation for Operation Free Food and Necessities, even if they haven't changed their name yet.

I have to wonder if that overflowing parking lot is scaring people away.

Not boring at all. Very heartwarming that a big business is treating its workers and community well, for a change. I know a lot of lesbians and trans men who would be great for the Home Depot fashion week.
