Lindsayiana_UGA: Saturday ["No Kings Protest" (#3)], March 28, 2026 -- over two months since my last post (has IT lifted)

U of D green space ... Newark, DE ... No Kings Protest ... thousands came.

On this crystalline, blue, clear day, "No Kings Day", its third iteration after two last year, at some 3,000 locations across the US and the world (at least Canada); the 4th birthday of Michael Monti, the cars parked on Cook Road, the passengers exiting with presents; our Chinese neighbors began planting in the backyard (the flower haven of one Betty Asbell, who to my great upset, we have not stayed in contact as she is in a rest home in Middletown, not far from Lisa and Larry Connor (lisaecoates@gmail.com) with a pile of potting soil on the driveway, Keon's play trucks on the concrete patio in back, he carried a rake toward his father, Alex, who was turning the soil with a spade as mother Sue took photos ... it was such a nice family moment as I took down Peg's laundry from the line, a windy day where we did bedsheets and a load of her stuff, which I brought in too early and had to lay out in Sandra's old room on the wooden rack and on plastic hangars hooked to the door frame to her bedroom, where I made the bed. Earlier, to the sounds of the MET's broadcast of La Traviata (what a tuneful opera by Verdi), I'd made my bed and later dusted my clothes drawer.

Phillies lost in the 10th inning to the Texas Rangers, 5-4; but the Flyers won their 8th road game in a row, in Detroit, by a 5-3 score. A nailbiter as they were up up 4-0 before the Red Wings scored 3 goals in just over 2 minutes late in the 3rd period. Philly scored an EN goal to seal it. Phewwww!!! Sort of like I completed the game Connections on the NY Times website. Down to my last chance and I saw the connection and got the 3rd row and solved it. Sometimes it just takes time to see and others, it's too tough to answer.

Brian Price, who worked and retired from SEPTA and who now lives in Portugal, posted on FB from Paris where he's visiting his sister. His photos are b/w and are arresting in their simple beauty and quiet and aloneness. I posted a comment that they reminded be of Eugene Atget.
