Who knew all this would happen afterwards! The Flat Creek walkway has clumps of debris still, and lots of sand and rocks on the flats across from the paved walk (which shows no damage from Hurricane Helene.) However as you walk further up the creek, you come to the mobile homes which survived, or didn't, the rising waters.

Boycotts anyone?
Current Events:
I was aware of Feb 28 being a total economic blackout...not to purchase anything anywhere....but this gives more specific dates to focus on certain retailers.
The list of corporations which support the 2025 dictates
I used to think my miniscule amount of purchases wouldn't matter, but now my thought is, just telling 10 people about a boycott may make several hundred dollars worth of difference.
Hello, I am happy to stay home and not buy anything on the 28th. Hopefully taking our dog to the vet does not count. Hopefully these corporations will feel some pain from the boycott. Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
It's a great symbol of resistance and a good starting point for people who haven't done any resistance yet! Maybe they'll continue once they realize we're unstoppable.
Up here, we'll be boycotting American companies. If we shop at all, we will also try to avoid Am products in Cdn stores. I'll also be staying off FB and Tw that day.
our boycott is not a boycott , as we are not consumers of any of that list. I will boycott Amazon, have already dumped evil facebook,, Etsy, and I may torch the tesla of my husband's doing...POS Sweet Honey was introduced to me years ago by my Deaf friend. Deaf community appreciate Sweet Honey for their exquisite signing and lyrics of faith and hope and gentleness...and truth.

That's great to hear...I just feel sorry for my friends who own local businesses. I wish they would just close on Friday.
