No Kings

· San Francisco

Today was a great day. We got up early and went to the Farmer's Market. Then dropped food off at home and went out to lunch for fun. Then to the No Kings Rally in San Francisco. It was packed and we left before the speaking really started. Even then there was no room on public transit. We waited for two trains and then gave up and walked home. It was hot and sunny, and the walk isn't too bad - just under two miles. Then we hydrated and rested and decided to go out for pub food at The Liberties, which is an old school SF place near our home that we'd never been to. Then we had to walk off the pub food.

The rally was really good and if I were more comfortable in crowds I would have stayed for the speaking. Also, word up to the organizers SINGING is better than yelling. Also, where is the fabulous brass band that used to march with us? It's wonderful to think about marches happening across 2700 places in all 50 states!
