February 15 Run/Walk Run/ Meet at Panera Bread, 3401 Boulevard of the Allies

This Panera was praised by a reviewer for its “large free parking lot.” Good to know, if also a case of damning with faint praise.  But we should be able to walk and run on ice and snow-free streets.  

Last week, faced with sub-zero temperatures, we, hearty walkers and runners, bundled up and stayed indoors.  (Except for Sharon…)  The knitters (Roye and Bobbi), took out their yarn and promised to share their talents.  Nearly everyone sitting around the table at Commonplace had gone to Catholic school --  Aimee, Joanne, Mary Ann, Jane M, Roye, and Bobbi – six of the nine of us.  Five of the six praised the experience.  We heard about an “adorable nun,” and the “opportunity to learn.”  Only Mary Ann couldn’t wait to get out.

She did. 

Resistance action of the week:  Allegheny County Council is set to consider an ordinance that would widely prohibit county employees from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.  Please call/email your County Council member (find your district here and your rep. here) and ask that they co-sponsor this bill.  Details here.
