Best text from mr. flea at our march so far: "We found Stefan! [Dillo's BFF]. He's in a tree."
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

I'm apparently going to the women's march in Oakland, but I don't have a sign. Ah, well.

My faux SIL (aka brother's gf) is at the march in DC! She was originally just going to go with some other professors but the head of hte college found out and said if they'd take students it would be an official college thing and so they could use the new passenger van and gas would be covered!!
15 students and faculty from Brevard College in WNC are there! and one of my brother's swim teammates is there with his parents.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My cousin Jenny sent a tweet about the pink lighting on her flight from Chicago with a cool pic. It was picked up by a whole bunch of news services. She is flummoxed but delighted. She stayed at my mom's house with a small group he brought with her. She brought my mom (88) and my Aunt Nancy (90) pussy hats to wear in solidarity and they will be wearing them all day.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We've got our signs ready, and been listening to the NYTimes feed of the DC March all morning.
SF's march is up last, but I promise we'll carry it into the night.

sj , you'll have to tell her about this.
BUT you get to tell her about the 600 rallies the day after the inauguration. You'll tell that on Saturday, Jan 21, 2017 on EVERY Continent people stood up and made their voices heard. You'll tell her about Hil and JZ and David and msbelle and every other Buffista and Buffista spouse or kids that marched.
You'll show her pictures and videos. You'll explain about the Disablity March
I hope you will tell.. although it was hard and scary that we did not lose hope. That people tried to derail the American Experience and it didn't happen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
MSNBC is all over covering the March in DC and reports of marches everywhere. It's lifting my glum cynical mood a lot.
Twitter is on fire over the unexpected large turnout.

The Nashville march was rockin'. I don't know the number but it sure felt like a good turnout. Multiple thousands. We didn't have a sign, but Rose was all about the chanting. And on the way back we heard about the huge turnout in DC. So I'm feeling proud and energized about keeping up a strong resistance.
