is a small biz that created amazing tea and built a beautiful brand of local, quality products. If you’re looking for a way to support individual recovery efforts in Western NC, consider making a donation through their website. The best way to support long term disaster recovery is cash so small businesses in a tourist town can rebuild. Trained disaster recovery professionals need us to stay out of the way and not become part of the problem. Truly, cash is going to help clean, rebuild, temporarily house, re-employ and feed people. Even $25 adds up.

Annual reminder to have your skin cancer check. This is my third removal of a basal cell or squamous cell lesion. They aren’t scary, and while the immediate surgery wound isn’t particularly pretty the whole thing is painless and pretty fast. GET IT DONE people.

NC friends-next Friday at 8 you have plans. is coming to The Cary. I cannot tell you enough how much you need to see this show. I’m totally biased because the first time I heard their music I was ugly crying because their songwriting is THAT good, and I immediately wanted them on our stage. This is one of those artists who you want to see now in our intimate venue because bigger shows are in their future. Tix at thecarytheater dot com.

So, watch this part. Exiting the echo chamber means you have to engage with the source material. 1. His first instinct is to suggest tax evasion for cash tips. 2. The idea of eliminating taxes on tips is good, solving an immediate problem for people who depend on them. 3. It completely ignores the systemic problem of paying people through tips as though work is a meritocracy. That’s the problem. The quick fix feels really good for people who are struggling. The bigger problem-requiring living base wages, health care, paid leave, and profit sharing as a reflection of meritocracy for employees is completely ignored. But the quick fix that validates the struggle is what people find appealing.
