Made it to Dublin. There's a match on at the football stadium nearby, and the pub staff indicate that they'll be flooded when the match ends. I hope I'm out of here before that happens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I heard a bunch of great music last night, and that was just the pre-event! Am excited for today and tomorrow, where I will be hearing and playing a ton more!! I was ignoring the world, which has been amazing, but listened to some podcasts this morning to make sure my rage doesn't totally go away.
Also, I just heard one of my houseguests say to my cat, "you're going to have to move to Canada - you're a celebrity now." (The houseguest is Canadian.) Hee!

Enjoy Dublin, shrift, but definitely avoid the post football match crowd if at all possible.

I'm at my volunteer job at my library bookstore where I usually get quiet time. Instead I get political conversations raising my blood pressure.

Yay Dublin! Yay music!
OK, I am damn well doing something with today. First stop, breakfast.

I'm sorry, sj.

Apparently protesting and the FBI probe do nothing but line people's pockets. I did not chase them out of the store screaming "35 indictments!"

FBI was their words, but they were definitely talking about Meuller.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, sj. Driving home last night with my sister I thought about stopping at the local bar, but didn't because I was afraid of encountering people happy about Kavanaugh and knew it would not end well if I did. The need to avoid hateful ignorant people is stronger than ever.
Did have a nice time with sister and nephew last night. Went to the first flashlight night at a wild animal center. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my, lit by flashlights. They had a bonfire and lots of the kids had costumes on.

That sounds nice, Laura.
