So sad...

@RpsAgainstTrump Reflecting poll? The man can't even spell pool correctly. 🤦

[Missy Glenn @Misfit0979]

@PressSec How much are you getting paid to lie to the American people? I pay your salary as a tax payer. I expect you to do better.

[Missy Glenn @Misfit0979]

@glenn_tunes Please do it!!

[Missy Glenn @Misfit0979]

Love this! We need more of this in the world today. Love your fellow human.

"They found the coats on Thursday morning.

Fifteen winter coats. Good ones, not garbage. Hanging on the chain-link fence outside Lincoln Elementary. No note. No explanation. Just coats, zipped up like ghosts waiting for bodies.

Principal Morris freaked out. Called the police. "Could be stolen," she said. "Could be some kind of prank."
But then Kayla Martinez, eight years old, said her mom worked nights cleaning offices and couldn't afford a winter coat this year. She'd been wearing three hoodies layered up. She touched a purple one on the fence, the right size, and whispered, "Can I?"

Mrs. Alvarez, the PE teacher, said yes before anyone could stop her.
By lunch, all fifteen coats were gone. Fifteen kids who'd been shivering through recess were warm.

The next Thursday? Twenty coats. Different fence, same neighborhood, outside the community center. Then thirty coats appeared at the downtown shelter. Then blankets. Then winter boots.

No cameras ever caught who did it. No social media claims. Just... coats. Every Thursday. All winter long.
The news picked it up. Called them "The Fence Angel." Interviewed grateful families. But nobody knew.
Until March.

Old man died, Earl Hutchins, seventy-one, lived alone in a basement apartment on Fourth Street. When they cleaned out his place, they found receipts. Thrift store receipts. Hundreds of them. He'd been buying every decent winter coat he could find, spending his entire disability check, and hanging them up at night.

His nephew found a journal entry, "Lost my son to exposure in 2004. He was homeless, prideful, wouldn't take handouts. Froze to death behind a dumpster wearing a T-shirt. If I put coats on a fence, nobody has to ask. Nobody has to admit they need help. They just take it. Dignity intact."

I'm Kayla Martinez. I'm sixteen now. That purple coat got me through fourth grade. I never knew Earl. Never got to say thank you.

But last November, I took my babysitting money to Goodwill. Bought six coats. Hung them on that same fence.
My friends saw. They bought coats. Then their parents did. Then the high school started a coat drive, not for a bin, for the fence.

Last Thursday, there were 200 coats. Scarves too. Gloves. We call it "Earl's Fence" now. There's one in Detroit. One in Manchester. One in Vancouver.

I never met the man who saved me from freezing. But I'm becoming him, one coat at a time.
Because the best kind of help doesn't ask for credit. It just hangs there, quiet, waiting for cold hands to find warmth."

@AnokaCounty Why were they going off at 7pm, 1am and 1:20am?

[Missy Glenn @Misfit0979]

@CalltoActivism 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Missy Glenn @Misfit0979]

@DollarGeneral - why do you have a planogram for gift cards if your Twin Cities stores didn't have the software to activate them? Just wasted time at the Anoka store trying to get a gift card. Heading to Walgreens now. I know they'll sell me an Amazon gift card.

@AdamJBerry I must be a horrible mother then! I've been watching Ghost Hunters and Kindred Spirits with my kids since they were young. 😂

[Missy Glenn @Misfit0979]

@Kohls - why did the bag recycling stop at stores? If you're giving out plastic bags, you should recycle them too.

[Missy Glenn @Misfit0979]

Crossed a thing off the bucket list tonight. Finally got to see @soulasylum perform live! Only took 30 years! It was an amazing show! 💕

Got new flight. The gate has changed three times now. Not one notification from the @Delta app! This is how I missed my first flight. Gate changed, no notification!
