KJB's Twenty-Seventeen Round Up...

Ya know how at the end of 2016, we were hoping 2017 would be better... I'm not sure what happened there, but the dumpster fire that is life continued. But in retrospect... a lot of great things also happened during the dumpster fire of 2017!

I mean politics were shit, but I continued my resolve to get involved! There's the RESIST Bot that sent constant text reminders, there were the organizations sending emails and of course, I was calling Senators Portman and Brown constantly! Imagine my surprise when I moved to Davis, and all my representatives are Democrats, what a relief!
