Dealing with Things – Chris Koerner

On dressing well

The brute covers himself, the rich man or fop adorns himself, and the elegant man dresses.

Honoré de Balzac

I went a’ protesting

Spent a few hours in the pouring rain last week protesting with about 120 other folks down at City Hall.

One guy came up and was reading our signs. He said he was an immigrant to the US for 10 years and in his entire time of being here he’s never seen something so “insane”. He couldn’t believe what is happening in the White House and thanked us for showing up.

Another gentleman was a military veteran who spent the entire two hours walking with his partner from corner to corner with a large visible sign. He was very stoic, yet friendly, individual.

A lot of horn honk and thumbs up including one from a school bus and a firetruck, which was very amazing. I’m pretty sure the firetruck wasn’t supposed to be doing that. 🙂

It felt good to get out of the house and be around other people. To do something other than doom scroll and read sarcasm and defeat on social media.

A++ would protest again.
