 15 September 2022 1745 - 1802 hrs. Jordan Thompson, Jordan Syperski, And Glen Svebek      After our group made a successful link up, we began to produce our collected trash for the week. As would be expected everyone had similar items in their trash such as food waste to include banana peels, lettuce.

The varying degrees of human responsibility for this past and ongoing destruction is where there were differing opinions. 2.        The discussion of Ishmael and the narrator both lamenting over the loss of time and reaching each other so late in life was an idea that was generally agreed as true. There are a few reasons, but the most popular reason would be is that with younger people they are lulled to the numbness by the song and music of Mother Culture and have not been shackled by the ch...
