I can attest to Snake refusing to leave her team without a medic.
When we delivered her supplies last year, I called to ask if she’d meet me (b/c I had more deliveries than daylight)…
She calmly responded that she wouldn’t leave her station, b/c her guys might need a medic.😢

See a (cold) dog, feed a dog. This very good boy was too afraid to eat from my hand; so I gave him lunch on the curb.
Then he brought his friend over to the van to make sure they both got fed. The very happy doggos & now (secretly) call me “uncle Ryan”.

I spent ~3 weeks working with Kharkiv Humanitarian Center, delivering food to recently liberated villages in Kharkiv oblast.
Their biggest constraints are:
(1) transportation
(2) insufficient meat/protein supply
They can’t make the meal kits, if they don’t have the meat!

Exxon kept drilling in 2020, but I’ll bet $100 they delayed completions, just like every other E&P. They built DUC’s🦆 to record levels in the US.
