Thousand Oaks, CA Not a large town, but huge turnout- a couple of thousand, maybe? We usually go to downtown L.A. , but decided to go smaller and are so happy we did.

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

In Southern California, spring prep begins in January. Got my flower seeds in and also finally installed the seven curvy cinder blocks I mosaicked.

My adult grandson loved the quilt. His favorite colors are orange and light blue, so I wasn’t sure, but it kind of has a Klimt-like quality that I kind of like.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.

Best read of the year for me. Congrats on the National Book Award, Percival Everett!

My 92-year old dad and I ran some errands today, ate soup and sandwiches, talked about FDR, and visited the library and a bookstore. The day didn't remove the crushing anger, fear, and disappointment I've been dealing with since the election, but I admit to forgetting about it for a couple of hours.

Will you use this at some point? Will you ask if they make other connections to what you've written on the board? Perhaps after you've finished reading the book?
