Saturday. Got to sleep late, but still awoke at five, zoning out as best as I was able until getting up to turn the lights on at six and get ready to drive to breakfast. Clear skies, no rain, but I figured with all the walking I'd get in later at the Womens March would more than make up for it.

If you go.

Well, there is that.

Arrived at five minutes to seven to find the restaurant dark and so entered through the dining area door again to turn on the lights and settle in with the papers, finishing up by twenty minutes to nine to drive home, take the selfie and go over yesterday's entry to find many odd errors, two ‘the's’ in a row instead of ‘to the’, for instance. What kind of mistakes are those? How did I miss them after they were written? Did I not go back and proof read? Was I sleeping while writing?

Later. Managed to talk myself onto the bus thinking it would be on detour, but evidently caught the last one before the detour kicked in, getting off at the City Center stop to find the crowd well on its way to forming up in front of City Hall. Took a few pictures and then bailed back to the City Center bagel shop to have a large cup of coffee and a bagel inside. Cold out there, shivering at the bus stop had come close to having me bail.

Finished and now warmer at the bagel shop, set out to find the City Hall area pretty much cleared of people, the tail end of the crowd, now significantly larger, marching up Broadway and so tagged along until we reached Grand where I turned toward home and the march turned in the opposite direction on West Grand to loop around and return to City Hall.

Felt pretty good for all the running around, would have been nice to have shot more pictures when they returned to the City Hall, but a decent walk and outing. Still, got more pictures than I have in the past, although I don't know if there's enough for a web section. Haven't done that in some time.

Evening. Tired and to bed at seven-thirty, lights out and radio off by nine. Life in the fast lane.

The photograph was taken at the 4th Annual March to Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy in January 2017 with a Nikon D4s mounted with a 24-120mm f 4.0 Nikkor VR lens.
