A map with all the places I’ve visited. I tried to limit it to cities I’ve actually spent the night in - no layovers or stopping for a meal. There are some big empty swaths on here, but considering my age I look at this map and consider myself pretty well travelled. Feel free to choose a random place and ask me what I was doing there. Here’s the actual map, in case you’re interested in seeing some of the lesser known places.
This made me smile, and it reminded me of how much I’m looking forward to traveling with you again, whenever that may be.

Write a letter - Stop the Pennsylvania Asset Test for Food Stamps
Right now the PA state government is considering implementing an asset test to receive food stamps.
Asking people to spend almost all of their savings before being eligible for SNAP means it will be much more difficult for them to reach financial stability without government assistance. Discouraging someone to acquire wealth means that they will always live in poverty.
Please read the article and sign the letter if you live in PA (or check to see if you live in one of the other 11 states that already has a similar asset test)
No longer in PA, but signal boosting.
Programs like SNAP kept dinner on the table for my hardworking family throughout most of my childhood. This is important.
