@centrox,
Wry smile from me for a few seconds. A local friend and I are down in the dumps (rhymes with Trump's).
My fervent hope is that protesters all, from whatever side/point of view, in whatever state of the US/DC or whatever country in the world, get their messages across in a peaceful manner. Same with the security people. I haven't asked my neighbors about their takes, none of my business, but I can guess, though presupposing what people think is dumb. Maybe I'll go for a bit of a walk tomorrow and see if any one else will be needing fresh air. 70% chance of rain, though.
