33. Hey Swampy! Nice to hear from you

I've been looking for a Swamp Rat graphic of Scooter Libby - with his full reptoid self exposed - what you do so well.

A hug back for you, and hope things are going well for you and other DUers displaced by the hurricane.

36. 'giving' is receiving, and

my only regret is that it wasn't more, and/or that we might all be free from any need-

So grateful for the chance to participate- and the work, organization, enthusiasm and love I was able to share in through this-

peace
