but I couldn't find an umbrella, so I made the decision not to walk in intermittently moderate rain down to the boat in order to get to Bryant Park or anywhere else.

Instead, I sent some pointed emails to my congresscritters. There will be other protests, hopefully in more clement weather.

Does your hair have a texture where it Really Does Not Appreciate Getting Wet?

Hope you find your umbrella soon! ^_^

Pointed emails are also good, and your senators need them more than mine do (Ed Markey was one of the speakers at the Boston instance of the protest).

I decided not to go too. But I doubt they missed us? There was over 200,000 walking down fifth avenue by all reports.

Instead I donated money to the ACLU and hunted down links to share on all the protests around the world today.

I think the pointed emails to your congresscritters may be even more useful.

I understand. I don't do crowds. I did the Women's March in 2017, and after that? Never again. They didn't have any in Brooklyn that I was aware of? Unless impromptu. There were a lot of impromptu's organized for folks who didn't want to brave the crowds in Manhattan, DC, etc, or couldn't get there. They had 2,000 in Minneola, Long Island, which blew my mind. That's Suffolk County and very conservative.

We were at the Manhattan march, and yes, it was raining on and off for much of it, stopping by the time we reached Madison Square.

is clement actually a word? I've heard of inclement, but I've never heard someone say clement before.
