Software developer (retired), watercolorist, traveler, healthy cook, reader (mostly fantasy), and obviously a reincarnated house cat as there's not enough time in the day to get all the nothing done I want to do!
Great day at No Kings protest! 61 degrees in White Bear Lake in mid October. I went to a smaller event on my own, and so missed out on the speakers and rally in Minneapolis, but even this event was so huge, that I am really feeling quite hopeful. Here is one of the best signs today.

CBS News/Getty Images caught me in the background! I'm the person in the red coat and sun hat on the left. It was a good turnout, State Patrol estimated 10,000 people.

Gathering in St Paul MN for the Hands Off rally. People kept pouring in, and it soon became difficult to move. I couldn't hear or see the speakers, but the signs were great!
