Any of this fun aside, it’s fact I ask for help of the sort alluded. Have received it, too, I believe. As I’ve heard the relief in the voices of other men they’ve gotten answers to questions asked about The Road. (“Wow, that guy is a long ways off. But the connection got made. Somehow”).

He gives power to the weak . .
