Sam and I had best day ever. We arrived at the Y just before it opened (24-hour passes) and there was only one guy shooting basketball. No pickle ball or basketball games playing yet. So it was quiet for our walk & Sam approved. Then we went swimming and Sam and I were the only ones in the pool for about 20 minutes when 2 families joined us. Then we stopped to see the couple who ride around Wadsworth on the tandem bike dressed as Easter Bunnies. They always have a costume befitting the season.

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

Found some flowers today! Sam’s mom called to say she couldn’t start the generator and needs to l because they lost power. So that’s where the flowers are, under the bay window with a lovely view to the east. After 93 or so pulls of the rope on the generator it finally fired up.

This legislation in Kansas is just another example of how states, empowered by Trump’s federal rollbacks, are introducing policies that compromise our civil rights. And the people most impacted by these hostile environments are vulnerable communities like immigrants and LGBTQ+ folks.
