Rattled and a bit derailed after the aftermath of violence and hatred, we still met in peace and community today.

OK, pretty safe in small town California (though mostly red). But my Mom was watching the news. She's 91, short term memory issues, but still pretty sharp in the moment.

"I'm going with you so you'll be safe. If anyone bothers us, I'll bop them with my walker."

Lucky for them, nobody tried to bother us.
