More Protests

This evening we went to dinner at Silver. While eating, a group of protesters started a protest across the street from the restaurant. They were very peaceful and didn’t stop cars or get in the road. They waived their signs and shouted their words and were fine.

I wore a new mask today. I’m not sure I like the fit and the little air holes on the sides. I think they could let the virus in. I’ll have to do some research about this kind. Also we have started seeing these menu signs. You have to pull the menu up on your phone. They are no longer handing out menus because of the virus. There are lots of adaptations to life with this virus.

Protests

There have been a lot of protests lately for the Black Lives Matter movement. We didn’t think we’d see much of it happening in our area. However, we went out to dinner this evening (sitting outside because of the pandemic) and saw some damage at our local CVS. We didn’t see any protests, just the aftermath of it. I guess they boarded up in anticipation of the protests. It’s a little scary to think this is happening in our area and during a pandemic.

Protesting

Today I joined the group of people to protest again at the NRA headquarters. I was there by myself today…meaning, I didn’t join any friends but there were many other people there. I feel good that I’m at least doing something.

I walked 1.47 miles indoors today.

Very Busy Day!

I’ve had a very busy day today. I started out early this morning by taking my friend Michael to get his colonoscopy. He was about 4 years late but he got it done and everything was fine.

Then I went to the NRA headquarters and joined the protest group to protest agains their gun policies. I’ve done this a few times now and feel like it helps. It makes me feel good that I’m actually doing something and protesting against something I detest. Jennifer Wexton, who won the primary to run against Barbara Comstock was at the protest and spoke.

This evening we went to Wolf Trap to see Harry Connick Jr. It was a good show but I was tired by the end of the evening.

I did walk 2.78 miles throughout the day.
