Will I Be the Only One...

Post by dales »

Wearing black on Jan. 20, 2017 for the inauspicious occasion of the Dumpster swearing in as POTUS?

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Hardly. Black all week for me.

But then pink (pussy hat) on Saturday for the march.

Hundreds of thousands in DC. Over 65,000 registered for Boston (where I will be, with Lizzie Warren and Maura Healy). 600+ sister marches across the world!

Far bigger deal than the inauguration. Who else is marching with me?

My wife and I will be marching in Chicago. (And I wear black most of the time anyway, so tomorrow will be no change for me.)

They're going to be wearing them at the marches nationwide - it's very cool, I think!

I really wanted to go to D.C. for the march, or at least Boston - but I'm not walking terribly well in recent weeks and having serious digestive system/bladder control challenges as well, so decided I'd better not risk it. I will march with the ladies in spirit as I watch on CSPAN.

I think the crochet one is prettier than the fleece one, FWIW - it flatters your complexion more. :ok

It really does seem like a nightmare from some sci-fi dystopian alternative reality...

I like that sort of sci-fi dystopian alternative reality.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I said that because RT posted the same pussy hat image (almost) as what I just had posted.

Of course I meant to say that we'd be marching in Chicago on Saturday (which is *NOW* "tomorrow," but wasn't when I wrote the above post. I think I wanted to mentally skip over today, Inauguration Day, as too horrible to contemplate. )

Oh, and my daughter and her husband will be driving down from Connecticut today for tomorrow's march in DC and her best friend from college will be flying there from Minnesota!
