Taps the window sign “…And you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. Without hope…the us’es will give up.” Please don’t give up. #HarveyMilkDay

“We’re losing just incredible amounts of knowledge & expertise [in the Forest Service]…If we don’t have the people & investment in these incredible resources, we’re going to lose what they give back to the public. It’s what I’m most concerned about right now.” www.gjsentinel.com/news/western...
