more later, maybe

Yes, I attended the main #NoKings rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, today. Yes, I heard Bruce Springsteen sing. Yes, I heard Bernie Sanders speak.

No, I don't feel better for it.

I've grown too old for this stuff. I left the house about 12:45pm, and I was sitting in my chair in the living room again about 6:45pm. My arthritis hurts too much to go 6 hours with no proper seating. I spent much of those 6 hours on buses or light rail train. I spent too much time standing in line waiting for mass transit transportation.

Lesson learned: I need to carry some kind of cane/chair combination, so I can always sit, no matter where I'm at. I got old, fast, during the pandemic.
