The Buzz: Call To Action Edition

Ray Bergman

Good morning Community!


Where I'm writing his from this morning, the temperature has plummeted in the past 24 hours.  We've dropped 40 degrees (farenheight) and this cold spell is supposed to stick around for a while.  But there are many people - maybe even some of you - affected recently by the heat of wild fires.  And while I usually try and incorporate some sort of jokey story or tale in here, this time around it's to ask for help.  There are people in my home state of California who need your help.  There are people in one of my favorite places on Earth - Australia - who need your help.  So if you have the means, please consider helping them:

Thanks for considering helping these people affected by the wildfires.


And now, on to...
