Today, I decided to get a bunch of blankets at Goodwill and bring them to the Occupy Albany movement in Academy Park. When I told Karen, she said, "Wait a minute" with an enigmatic smile, and led me downstairs. She retrieved a bunch of blankets from a storage bin and gave them to me. I wound up at the Salvation Army on Central Ave instead, and got every blanket they had. (So locals, you can still try Goodwill if the fancy strikes you.)

The people there were, by the way, very hospitable. They offered free food, and gloves. (I had gloves, and couldn't shake myself out of the "giver" role to accept the food, which I probably should have.) Of course, that's to be expected: These are really good people, working hard to peaceably change an oppressive, murderous system; of course they'll be kind and generous.
