I’ve got a 65 VW bus I can donate to the relocation efforts.
I’m happy to shuttle people over to the nearest public park or river bar.
Tall ships photo makes me think of Columbus on his way to meet the Natives in the New World. (nice pic.)
I remember those tall ships from a visit to Boston in the 80s. They’re magnificent.
