It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Summer is definitely upon us . . . and I feel another PSA coming on. I’ve seen so many unfortunates walking down the streets of Boston lately. . . Just the other day I was driving with my friend and observed some “situations” that were so bad I literally wanted him to pull the car...
