We don't all think alike

 

I think Trump is an intentionally ignorant self-indulgent blowhard, with the social skills of a maladjusted middle schooler; the nightmare of every normal kid; the mean girl.  We have friends who voted for Trump.

 

We have friends who link us to conservative web sites that complain about the protesting Stoneman Douglas High School students in Florida, saying that they are too immature to know what they are talking about and should Shut Up.  We think if these kids are old enough to be hunted and killed with assault weapons, they’re probably old enough to have an opinion.  We feel the students are right to protest, to say No More Thoughts and Prayers, If You’re Not With Us You’re Against Us, to call B.S., to hold accountable the adults who should be keeping them safe, to chant Vote Them Out, to shame the politicians and the rest of the country for what they are not doing.

 

We don’t want the pressure to let up until changes are made.  We, Judy and I, are in total support of those demonstrating Florida students, and demonstrating students nationwide.  We have arranged to be in Tucson on March 24th to attend March For Our Lives – Tucson, and show our support.

 

 

Meanwhile, we are now at Catalina State Park.

Another nice site.

 

Another nice view.

 

A roadrunner charging back and forth through our campsite to catch our attention.

 

 

We’re surrounded by ground squirrels commanding Henry’s attention.

 

 

 

It’s still dry here, but not as painfully dry as it was the last couple days in New Mexico.
