And I passed a church doing a charity car wash. I figured mine could use it so I pulled in n the man at the front taking money had an accent I didnt recognize around here. He told me the car wash for for a member of the church going to someplace I couldnt make out. I thought..its charity so I pulled up and there were about 4-5 young men about 18-24 and then a couple more a little older and 4-5 that were maybe 8-10 years old. I looked at one guy who was standing getting ready for my car when I saw his tattoo under his forearm..a great big beautiful crest of Ukraine! I got my camera out and pointed to his arm n he looked surprised n then I showed him my photo a DU sent with the same crest that I had copied n he said Ukraine! You know! I said yes, and then another guy showed me his Ukraine tattoo! I dont know what this charity car wash was for real but I like to think I made a good decision and drove around to the entrance and gave another donation b/c after all, they did a good job! I left feeling like I made a good choice today 🇺🇦

Only had not been bc of Covid way limiting my travels, and I had a lot of upheaval in my life soon after that war started (OK now but very unexpected circumstances for the whole year).
