The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

Having now dealt with the deaths of two parents within two months, let me just say that the kindest thing you can do for your loved ones, at every stage of life, is assume that some of them will outlive you, and make that as easy as possible for them, logistically. it sucks and it's morbid, but.

And DON'T depend on an LLM to give you advice. If Google Maps can kill you (and it has) a calculator which can't add is going to be worse. Go to a hiking/camping store and ask PERSON. Buy a book. Carry some firestrikers, extra socks, and a foil blanket. Nature will kill you, without a care.
