We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

But always wear gloves. The recoil and vibration can easily break your hand even with a wooden gardening tool.
How do gloves help with recoil and vibration? What kind of gloves are we talking about?
I'm just now realizing you always see people using gloves for yard work and such, and that they were probably doing that for a reason. What am I missing out on?
gloves for yard work protects your hands from dirt, scrapes and cuts, the nice ones are thick leather but you wouldn't really want much padding because it gets in the way of fine work. gardening requires only thin gloves because mostly it's just the dirt you're dealing with.
Padded work gloves will offer some protection from vibrations; think of using a fiberglass handled maul to do building demo the difference between having padded work gloves and not is massive. The pads are slightly cumbersome but if you're just gripping and slamming that won't matter much!
