"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

I just assume they have gym membership at someplace so that’s how they showered. Or they know some people who have been kind to let them shower at their places.
A number of storage places are also set up near truck stops
So, um, how have they been showering?
I work in tech in the San Jose area. Several buildings have shower facilities and the onsite cafeteria serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Around two years ago, I was scouring Craigslist for a new place. My rent was going up from obnoxious to obscene and I really could only afford “unreasonable” anyway. I had to be out by the end of the month and wasn’t finding anything. I seriously considered moving most of my stuff to storage and sleeping either at the storage place or in a rarely-used storage room in the lab I worked at. It didn’t come to that, but I considered it.
