March for Our Lives

     Yesterday Jane and I went to the March for Our Lives rally at the Capitol in Lansing. It was one of 800 across the country by youth in response to the Stoneman Douglas shootings last month calling for safer schools and limits on some weapons and regulations on their purchase. "Enough is enough" was the theme shouted at the rallies with the main one in Washington D.C. having 800,000 attending  and thousands here in Lansing. Last month I attended a Repeal the Trump Tax rally at the Lansing Center where Bernie Sanders spoke to about 1,500 supporters. Bernie called Trump a pathological liar and least-qualified president ever. We visited Silas and Paul the first weekend in March. Jane and I had dinner at Bravos with the Hokesemas the following weekend, it was the first time we had been there and we had a good meal. We still have not had warm weather but at least snow has been minimal. I've actually been teaching classes the last 6 days.
