**The HARDEST BOOK I Ever Read and ... How ANYONE Can Read It**

Rob Pirie - The Cause

_“The poem is written in blank verse in iambic pentameter. The poem makes music when read correctly which allows the poem to have a charm and enchantment I have never experienced in any other book.”_

As with hurricane Milton, low tech bikes play a key role in disaster relief in Valencia.

When Disasters Strike, Incarcerated People Are Often Left Behind—Then Tasked with Dangerous Cleanup

Before hurricanes Helene and Milton, officials failed to evacuate people in jails and prisons—yet most states rely on incarcerated people to work disaster response for little to no pay.

Here's view from atop the #greatbluehill in the #bluehills https://adam-gladstone.pixels.com/featured/view-of-houghtons-pond-from-atop-great-blue-hill-adam-gladstone.html You can see #houghtonspond in #milton in this view. At some point I'll probably put up a similar view taken in the #autumn

The National Guard still has more than 1,100 troops and over 100 high-water vehicles and helicopters deployed for Hurricane Milton recovery, and 2,000 troops, 65 vehicles, and 8 choppers for Helene. About 270 people are on Army Corps of Engineers assignments for Milton, and more than 450 for Helene.

This is one of the scam mailers that are going to Florida residents in the path of Hurricane Milton.

If you open it, what looks like a check is not. It's a solicitation to take out a loan for up to $25K instead.

Ahh yes: predatory capitalism at it's finest, riding the thermals just waiting for a meal to come along...

Hey guys! I am not one to take a lot of pics. I just get working! A taste of what a hurricane can do! That's my Hubby...My hero repairing our roof!

This is what we've been dealing with over and over with Hurricane Ian, Debby, Helene and now Milton. We do all of the work ourselves because we cannot afford contractors where we live (crazy high)! Insurance has a huge deductible and if you file a claim, your rates skyrocket!

Thanks for ALL who have supported us!

Not a joke! We are watching the two yellow X's on NOAA every day! Working hard to get our FARM repaired and cleaned up!

We so appreciate those that have bought us a bale of hay!!
