Today I had the most amazing opportunity to attend the Rally For Sanity on the National Mall in Washington DC. I don’t know how many people were there, but it was elbow to elbow from the stage at the Capitol end of the Mall to the Washington Monument at the opposite end, with people filling the steps of museum buildings along either side, and the streets radiating outward. There were even people in the trees…

Seriously. Been here 45 minutes already … Still waiting on the elevator repair company to arrive. Security team is being very attentive and concerned.

The security team was very attentive and concerned throughout. Note to self: park on a lower floor tomorrow…
