I'm no expert on Unca Joel but it seems to me that a good way to help our
Uncl would be to help his community.
The basics?

I agree. It's not the kind of attention that UJ likes. He'd rather see you
give it to soon else.

checked in with unca Joel I fond him in good spirits, having had logos or no
damage to his home or property other than a few downed limbs and trees.
However, a tornado through Tuscaloosa the week before cost him his garage
and put a hole on his roof the size of a pickup. But he wasn't thinking
about that. He was going on rounds through the neighborhood, taking needed
supplies to his neighbors. He was concerned about keeping the schedule of
delivering gas to keep a generator running for a person in critical need of
oxygen.
