As a surprise my son and his girlfriend dropped by from college yesterday for my birthday. My husband played a role in orchestrating it. Extremely sweet! Aren't they all (including my husband) cute?

My son and his girlfriend stood in line 8 hours to get these pics. They look worth it.

Another super successful and joyous #teslatakedown protest in #Austin at the north Austin dealership! Very grassroots and connecting. I'd estimate 150 or more people attending. Lots of support from passing cars! #resist

At today's Tesla Takedown protest in north Austin. Alex Jones showed up for a bit, got drowned out. Hundreds of people came. My pics don't do justice. Huge support from passing cars. #resist #austin @teslatakedown.com

I went to the Research Blvd Tesla dealership in Austin today with this sign for a couple of hours. A Telemundo reporter saw and interviewed me. If you're in #Austin come join me next Saturday 10AM to 12PM. Many people honking horns and giving thumbs up. It felt fantastic. @teslatakedown.com #resist

Some John Ashbery this morning from Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror. I can't read too many of his poems in a row without going into some kind of trance state. That's a little hyperbolic but not much. Here's "Foreboding" #poetry
Just found this charming reading! youtu.be/sL9n6ZF9d60?...

Took this picture on my walk yesterday. Felt kind of timeless. A high sixties humid day. Texas roads can be flat like this.
