The First point: Check out the Living in Seattle with Sean McConnell YouTube channel. YouTube generously sent RantWoman this item about walkability. RantWoman is going to start here but YouTube promises other Seattle-themed videos that RantWoman will look at later.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge
RantWoman posts this item in celebration particularly of the bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure that are part of the newly opened Gordie Howe international bridge between MI and Ontario.
It's a bridge!
RantWoman will try to resist the temptation to go off about all the political angles associated with the bridge opening. RantWoman is just glad it is open.
"We Didn't Start the Fire" gets a workout and other parodies
RantWoman deeply appreciates The Dangerous Ones curation of the vast content on social media

The Direct link to the Free will site
The site invites one to plunge in immediately. RantWoman considers the exercise important enough to tackle during daylight.
RantWoman is excited to hear about the partnerships involved.
One more piece of free advice: remembering the American Council of the Blind acb.org in one's will is a great idea, but ACB could also be mentioned as a beneficiary for various policies and trusts. RantWoman considers it a good problem to have encountered such topics. Thank you, NOT rantParents, RantWoman is also frank about, gee, good financial literacy is never a bad idea.
