Show Notes

Repercussions from the environmental, the sociological, the cultural and spiritual damage done by the building of the border wall will haunt us for a very long time. Many thanks and so much gratitude to all the people who have fought and continue the resistance to the madness. And a personal “Hey!” to Kate Scott in Lochiel. Thanks to Max Licher for use of his cottonwood photo from SEINet. A great shot.
