What are our leaders doing to help us?

Thanks to Brian Lewis for covering for me today. I managed to get 10 minutes in without any significant pain. So I think I'm heading back in the right direction.
I've used Brian's cover art for his new book for today's featured image because the artwork is FIRE! Here is the link to the IndieGoGo campaign he mentioned.
