He did express in an IG, an repeat invite for the Mayor of LA, to attend a BLMatter TownHall ---and would the mayor be present, implying he would be there. All I could think of last night...I want him and all others to be safe!! And, he might be best to take a cab, Uber or rent a car chauffeur and not risk his new sports car. My brothers friend was RCMP and for years, drove dignitaries. In retirement he had a limo service for people/ buiness execurives/politicians who wanted more than just a driver. I hired him to drive my elderly neighbours to Banff( resort town) 1.5 hr away for an overnight stay to celebrate her 100 birthday (now 103). They wanted me to drive them. It was a relief to not have the pressure of their safety, and driving there, drop off and do a return pick up the next day. Same for Adam....if he feels confident...he is going to attend. I too hope he and the others stay safe. Well I hope your centenarian friend stayed at the Banff Springs Hotel. I love that hotel!! Adam is smart and he knows how to get out in public incognito. I'm sure he will be careful to be safe.

Throwback to this past Friday.....I watched last week's Rackel Maddow shows on demand as promised to theosgma and posted some of my takeaways on Friday's thread. Didn't want today's news thread to be political or non-glittery....lol.

No worries on my side if Adam decides to join the protests. He is lucky to be white, and I think he isn't any more of a target than any other white person being out on the streets. He will likely drown in the masses anyways, especially with the mask, sunglasses, and a hat on, and I am sure he uses common sense. My kids have been protesting in SF and Oakland, and they made the commitment to get tested for Covid-19 on a weekly basis as long as they mingle with others on the streets - SF and Oakland created pop up testing centers in an attempt to keep the protesters safer. Covid-19 is a serious reality still and thankfully healthy and young people are less affected by it if they get it. I was out on a local protest yesterday here in our suburban Bay Area town. We kept our distance wearing masks while holding up our signs in front of the city hall. It felt good go congregate with like minded folks again and to listen to inspiring speeches, and many of them amongst mayors from neighboring cities were given by very young folks. What a turnout it was!
