@SenMikeLee This is bad policy! I am an avid outdoorsman and love to hike, bike and camp in these lands. Once these places are sold off, we lose FOREVER. We ALL lose except for a few ultra wealthy private landowners and big business that wants to develop the land. REMOVE THIS FROM THE BBB!
"A good apology is like antibiotic, a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound."
Source: The Last Lecture - Computer science professor Randy Pausch on how to apologize:
"If you're always right, you're not learning.
If you're never failing, you're not reaching.
The objective is to be right. The objective is to succeed.
But if you're always winning, you're undershooting your potential."

So true
"When you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime.
No act is ever too small. One by one, this is how to make an ocean rise."
Danielle Doby on the power of small acts
"When determining the size or complexity of a new habit ask yourself, "What can I stick to—even on my worst day?"
Start there. Master the art of showing up. Then advance."

"When working with people, assume good intentions.
When listening to people, interpret their words in a generous way.
You will occasionally get burned and mistreated by always assuming the best in others, but it is a far better way to live than the opposite."

6 year old me didn’t anticipate: Reading comprehension and writing are the most critical things to learn in school.
I was told I wouldn’t have a calculator always with me, so I focused on math! What a fool I was…
Ya know what I don’t have in my pocket? A ghost writer.
"Be kind. You should do it simply to be decent, but do it even if you’re a ruthless mercenary because you have no idea where people will end up in 10 years. The balance of power is always shifting. People will surprise you."

Feelings are facts.
Many people hope to convince others by clearly explaining the external facts of the situation, but they often ignore the internal emotions of the other person.
Usually, the most important “fact” to consider is how the other person is feeling right now.
Today, the 5 most vaccinated states (14M people) had
580 people in hospital, 12 deaths
In the 5 least vaccinated states (16M people)?
6,600 hospitalized, 104 deaths
Per capita , least vaccinated states have
10X hospitalizations and 7X deaths
So yeah, vaccines are working
