She ties it up into everything else going on in the world today including Covid-19 and US Wars around the world. I don’t live in Urbana. But it seems to me that Urbana should give a reprieve to their geese as an Affirmation of Life. Something we need these dark days for sure. In any event, well done Karen!” Congrats!
