I was there with you in spirit. My rural little city doesn't do much. To join a protest, I have to travel to the "big city" about an hour away. Used to be, that wouldn't be a thing. These days, it is. Not only is money for gas tight, but my body just won't do the protests anymore. On top of that, I worry about leaving my hubby home alone for an afternoon. And he wouldn't do well if I took him with me.

I gave it my all in my youth... and I still give it my all in spirit these days. damn this body, crapping out on me when I need it to function most.
