Kudos to all for keeping a courageous cool spirit going at grade schools over the decades! 
I was in the Class of the mid 1970s (the math isn't that tricky but with the turn of the century in 2000 it is a bit...so that's a good  forty plus short years ago!

Most of us are now well into our 50s) and wonder if we are in the running for one of the largest (and coolest) classes.

We are some of the most talented, caring folks I know in the area our age (see that puts us in a certain era before computers, cell phones, faxes and even electric typewriters, fundraisers or community scholarships

Thinking about loved ones here and in spirt...we likely need more coaching and support to help us value people in our circles and community here and now so we can draw on the lessons and support when they cross over, much of which some say continues in a positive healing way if both parties are game... but if not, not so much.
 
There are definitely many Possibilities...and I feel very grateful to have had my mind and heart softened such that the dreams and prayers, past, present and future can all work together on many levels... practical and spiritual to help me and many others 'evolve

Bikers Beware is a term we've heard that applies to  bicyclists and motorcyclists watching out for cars. They are the 'smaller vehicle' so the phsyics of force when two collide would favor the larger vehicle.

Plus there's no protection from being thrown off one's motorcycle or bike so on that account the rider would be wiser to avoid 'close calls with cars' or even parts of a car, such as a Car Door.

That sounds easy yet likely we need reminder stickers and buzzers to 'check twice' before getting out of a car or even into a car.

From another FB post with an article from Bloomberg Business Week about the decline in health care providers accepting insurance or cutting people off from services. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (as well as the Veterans Crisis Line) is 1-800-273-8255.

I learned a lot. In MN, a class action suit with some of the families who suffered loss of coverage, which likely contributed to one or more losing a loved one to suicide, some progress was made in holding the company accountable..

When the weather warms up, warnings go up: No Leaving Pets or Kids in Cars (it may be against the law, and hard to tell what's not too hot vs what IS)

In response to the NW Corner Chatter post about dogs getting too hot in a car or even in a cage at home in a sunny window or very hot room, I shared the following. Basically everyone could take note about heat safety, car safety and monitoring oneself, others and those around you for basic safety.
 
The other day I helped a woman find her car in the rain in a parking lot. Hers was two cars away from one that looked like it. Her She was compromised with her walking and was driving her elderly husband around.
