Saturday. Took a while, more than a while, to get to sleep last night, somewhere around midnight, I'm guessing. Not good, but awakening then at six-fifty to get up, check the weather (no rain), get ready and walk to breakfast. The March For Our Lives starts at ten at Frank Ogawa Plaza so we're thinking we need to get our act together.

The chicken-apple sausage, eggs over medium, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast over the papers, the sky growing dark as I was eating. Rain? Hmm. Documented the two cent rise in the price of regular and took the usual pictures on the walk home. We'll get our tail in gear and see about this March For Our Lives sooner than later. Unless it rains. Of course.

Later. A nine-twenty bus to the City Center to find a large crowd covering the entire area in front of the Oakland City Hall, large enough and dense enough I couldn't get close enough to see the speakers and so spent half an hour circling around taking pictures, primarily of the signs with a 70-200mm lens on the camera. Too crowded to find closeups of faces, everyone looking toward the stage, but my fault. Should have arrived earlier.

Had a bagel with cream cheese and coffee at the bagel shop in the City Center, checked the NextBus app and arrived at the stop a couple of minutes before it arrived. Some days the timing goes well. Stopped at the 7-11 look-alike to pick up a bag of chipotle peanuts having read an AARP email recommending you eat nuts, particularly teenage girls and adults after the age of seventy. Forget what exactly it was needed that they contained, but it didn't take much to convince me. They didn't say anything about the chipotle I'd added.

Evening. OK, not a bad day. Sleep or no sleep last night there was no real “tiredness” today. We can learn to live with that. Processed more pictures from this morning's March For Our Lives. I may have enough for a web section if I push it a bit. Again, mostly pictures of signs as I'd found it difficult to find faces in the large crowd.
