We got us

I was in a few different establishments yesterday—restaurants, offices, bottle shops, etc.—and every single one had some sort of drive going to support Western NC. Some had a little, some had a lot, but they were all trying to do what they can. It reminds us that people are so good. Sure, there are a few assholes, but the majority of us want the best for each other..

Even though the world can sometime feel sad, scary and divided, gestures like what we are seeing—people giving what they can, helping how they can—show that the spirit of generosity is alive. We're not perfect, but when push comes to shove, we try our best to help. It’s unfortunate it takes tragedy to remind us of this, but as we scramble to help our people out West, navigate the bullshit political noise of the next month and a half and deal with whatever else life decides to throws at us, remember: You are good. We are good. And we got us!
