I too live in a place where there are some with little tolerance for anyone who did not vote for this president. But fortunately there is a mix, at least in corner of WV, of varying views. It is not my usual style to step out publicly like this on personal views but it's just too important this time.<br /><br />Be safe my friend, and do what you can. <br />Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-85525570286469398972017-01-26T08:45:53.149-05:002017-01-26T08:45:53.149-05:00I am sorry I missed you, Les!

At least 50 of my friends wanted to go but could not for various reasons. Think if everyone who wanted to be there had been able to be at one of the marches! <br /><br />I will go again, for sure. This is too important not to support however we can. You did your part :)<br />Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-47394836656705144852017-01-26T01:15:39.718-05:002017-01-26T01:15:39.718-05:00Thanks for sharing your experience, Sue!

Another blogging friend wrote my name on her arm and sent a photograph of "me" there in DC, and it about made me cry with joy.<br />Onward!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-6093016711881134122017-01-24T18:07:48.307-05:002017-01-24T18:07:48.307-05:00Just so proud of you !!

It seems as if I'm the only one here in my NE corner of Tenn who feels that way with the exception of two or three .(Sadly I've come to the conclusion if one has to " explain / defend " why one felt the need to be at a march...well, it's just doesn't seem to resonate. ) Wish I could have just been able to went to our " local " 60plus miles away ....but there in spirit . So glad you were able to go and thankful for your sharing . One of my former students went and I'm so proud of her !!

We solved the bathroom problem by going in the Mall entrance to the Air and Space Museum where thy had great bathrooms, water, comfy seats for a rest, snacks and best of all friendly, cooperative personnel. When the lines at one of the Women's bathrooms became long, some of the men urged women to use the Men's Room, which was lovingly shared for the rest of the afternoon. When one of the Police started ordering the women out of the Men's Room, they refused, the men supported them and what looked like a stalemate was broken when one person yelled out "Hey, I'm Trans!" The cop raised his arms in surrender and good naturedly told us, and his fellow cops, that he wasn't going to mess with that and walked away. This sums up the day about as well as anything. Government, men, women and nature all working together in harmony.<br />Les SchafferLes Schaffernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-12885036877008900152017-01-23T21:04:30.001-05:002017-01-23T21:04:30.001-05:00I've been hoping you would check back in! Than...I've been hoping you would check back in! Thankyou for going! I'm not up to crowds and traveling but I knitted a pussyhat and shipped it to the march. Nearest I could get, but there in spirit! And I had blogged about the hat and the movement ahead of time to help spread the word. <br /><br />Next we need to stay active, keep up the pressure. Ijoined Indivisible for a start. And I now start the day with messages to legislators and committee members on current issues, need to do this routinely.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-88099513283073315622017-01-23T19:09:19.454-05:002017-01-23T19:09:19.454-05:00What an awesome even to attend.
