   Didn’t you advertise a book fair recently?

   And you thought trying to guide new currencies in the US would be a problem.

   Apple won’t take cash for iPhones. I’m too lazy to go back and find the post this connects to.

   This is beautiful. I had to visit an emergency room to find out about their mission.

   I just heard your tape and this seemed relevant. A lot of cities are starting Food Security programs. We don’t have one yet but at least they know that one of the main issues besides money is just physical neighborhood access to health food.

   I’m not as into maps as it would seem. You can get more done in an older city because there’s more to be done. Like rehabbing an old house. People can agree that an old house needs fixing up but don’t think there’s anything wrong with something new. Also, the racial segragation can work in your favor in a weird way as long as there’s not too much of a violent undercurrent. Reaching across barriers like this creates attention and gives energy. People want to connect and if you can connect on two levels at the same time it’s an even bigger impact.
