Breaking News from Redlandia: The weather sucks, but I had to go out.

After being below zero for days it has warmed up to 20. The wind has moderated some, but drifts are up to the average baazoo. At the traffic light at the intersection with the highway, which at the moment has both directions of the Interstate routed through it, I see four women (of course) all bundled up holding signs with variations of WE DIDN'T VOTE FOR ELON (or in one case FELON). They have a huge audience today thanks to the road closure. While waiting at the light it looked to me like they were well received. There were many people waving and horns blowing.

I delivered the weather report because I didn't want you to think they were standing on some sunny street in Florida. It takes a fair amount of commitment to be out there today. A tiny light of grass roots resistance shining in the snow. I need to up my commitment.

Good Night and Good Luck
