Morris had their women’s march today — about 160 people turned out. We had approximately twice that number last year, but it was still a substantial crowd.
For us, a demo for better treatment of First Nations people is more relevant.

Copied from The Onion today:
“WASHINGTON—Admonishing those responsible for failing to uphold their moral duties, Vice President Mike Pence expressed disappointment Saturday in the 200,000 husbands and fathers who had allowed the women and girls in their charge to attend the Women’s March on Washington. “I can’t tell you how let down I feel by the heads of these households who did not simply give their wives and daughters a firm, decisive ‘no’ when they asked to participate in today’s demonstration,” said Pence, noting with frustration that many of the protesters had been granted permission to travel across the country alone and stay for several days in a faraway city with no male chaperone whatsoever to guide and look after them. “There are a few men marching as well, so they must be the ones supervising this whole thing, and thank God for that. But I can’t help but feel that these ladies’ custodians—the ones who were supposed to be providing a masculine voice of reason on these sorts of matters—have really come up short today.” Pence stressed that he, for example, had told his 23-year-old eldest daughter that it was simply out of the question when she mentioned she was thinking of attending the march.?

Whoa, you still have a Radio Shack? I had read that due to climate change they were moving north.

I wanted to go to the nearest one, but one of my coworkers has been out sick with the flu all week and I had to cover her shift yesterday.

Hey, given the size of Morris, 160 people sounds pretty good. Well done.
As far as I could tell, we did not have one but then I live in small town Canada where issues are a bit different than in the USA. Apparently our PM is under attack from the mad right in the US https://globalnews.ca/news/3966475/trudeau-anti-abortion-us-media/
