supposedly a day off of work

We've reached that point of the occupation when I should not discuss publicly the events of the day, and it's not even 10am yet. That's a shame, since my neighbors make me proud to live here. I just wasn't certain if there would be enough community response here in the warzone. There is.

In other news, this morning I finally completed an order for hand and foot warmers (at The Warming Store online, if it matters). At another website, I also ordered a single pair of heated gloves that allow the fingertips to roll back for operating a phone. I'll let you know if that HotJak brand works well or not in Minnesota cold. I guess, for now, I'll have to keep wearing my silk long johns all day long, so it doesn't take me as long to suit up appropriately and head out the door. This all would be so much easier and faster if I still had a car.

P.S. As training goes more national, if you intend to take "constitutional observer" (sometimes called "legal observer") training, then I recommend that you try to attend one from two different organizations. The core is the same, but the 2 that I attended online were still different enough to be very useful separately. Here are the ones I know where virtual training is sometimes available, but they're mostly focused on Minnesota/Minneapolis for now. The trainings are useful only if you intend to be on the ground observing federal agents. If not, then it's not really useful, and you're better off letting others in your community take those training seats.
