Our wings are not tired.
The news of Sue's passing is indeed sad. Here is her obituary, which mentions her lovely Christmas trees. [link]
Many protests in my region today, including one a mile north of me and one a mile south. Starting at 1 but the park a couple miles away was already full of cars at 10 when I took the dog. I'm hoping the A1A one comes this way so I can cheer from the balcony. Parking was full along the beach, but that is always the case on a weekend, and during Spring Break too. It will be hot and full sun today, so I hope to see lots of floppy hats and water bottles.
I joined the one in the summer in Old Forge, NY, where there were maybe 40-50 people and a walk of a couple of blocks to parking. I can't walk a mile in full sun at this point in life. I expect Fort Lauderdale to step up and represent well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm so sad to hear about Sue.
Loved seeing her FB posts with her gorgeous tree every Christmas and her sweet animals.
Yes! Her Christmas tree was the first thing I thought of.

For a holiday gift exchange she sent us the most beautiful glass Canadian passport ornament. It’s one of my favorites.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
This part of getting old really fucking blows.

I’m so sorry to hear about Sue. She was a lovely person.
I participated in one of the local No Kings protests today. At the time I was a little disappointed that I didn’t run into anyone I knew. Then I got home and saw I’d misspelled “government” on the sign, so now I’m kinda glad I didn’t. Still, the turnout was great, and everyone seemed pretty high energy.

It's spelled "gubmint", FYI.

Looks like Sue died of Bile Duct Cancer which is "rare and aggressive."

That is what my aunt’s husband had and it is a mother fucker of a cancer and not nearly as rare as it used to be.
