Our Cities Are Burning

I like the saying on this guys knapsack:

Discipline equals freedom.

The opposite is true too:

From the violent riots across the country the last week, even a modicum of discipline has gone out the window, and with that comes a curtailment of freedom through deployment of the National Guard, Military, and imposition of curfews and more. 

There was a time that peaceful protests led by leaders with integrity held sway…but now it’s anarchy out there!

Today, the cities are burning, the stores are being looted, people are afraid, and our republic is being torn asunder by racism and filthy election politics. 😉

In The Capital, Scary Cold

So it was 3 degrees in Washington, D.C. today (and that’s before wind chill).

I don’t ever remember it being this cold, ever!

Getting on the Metro this evening, this big guy came on wearing this scary hat.

But what was really unusual was that even while we were on the train for a while, he didn’t take the scary hat off.

I didn’t know whether this guy was just still cold or whether we was a murderer or terrorist in waiting.

After a while, I said to the guy, I have a blog and does he mind if I take a photo–and he was nice enough and said, “Go ahead.”

So this is how he rode the Metro all the way home.

Today was a scary cold day–because of the temperature for sure, but also because of this unbelievable hat.

I was literally right in front of this guy–how do you think that felt? 😉
