of all ages, despite the cold rainy weather. Lots of great signs and the supporters driving by outnumbered the MAGAts 500 to 1. It was a really fun time -- we met several nice, informed people who were great to talk to. My sign read: "Too much shit to list" on one side and "F ELON & 47" on the other side. I am looking forward to getting back out there.

Today, April 19, 2025, is the 250th anniversary of the battles at Lexington and Concord which kicked off the American Revolution. I met an old woman in a Revolutionary War costume complete with a tri-corner hat and carrying the US flag. She said, "I had to come back here 250 years later because it's time to do this again." Literally, the stars are aligning as they were back then. Interesting times.
