It's late but I wanted to write a bit

I'm down on a long penninsula south of virginia beach right now, with Joe and Bernadette and there's been a bit of an object lesson in "sleeps 2 adults and 3 kids" and it's somewhat tempting to sleep in the living room/kitchen instead of my bedroom in that I absolutely do not recommend these mattresses even stacked, and it's cold tonight so at least the lack of a/c is less of a problem.
today we went to great dismal swamp. the earlier part of this was about 1.5 hours of walking out and back on a gravel road to a trailhead before deciding to go to somewhere else in the car. At that point I was kinda wishing that I had gone to acro. But the rest of the time, the time on the boardwalks was cool. I hadn't seen cypress roots before. Freaky. And the lake. And the swamp near it.
Yesterday I stayed with a couple acro people paddleboarding out to some concrete battleships that are used as breakwater (a bit sad my waterproof camera didn't get better pics), and got some [abrasive] acro in while J and B got really sweaty in their hikes.
Day before, 22k steps including a whole lot of beach.
Sadly it'll be another rather cool day tomorrow. Probably will try to get to the beach at least tho. This morning I was simply way too exhausted and went back to sleep after breakfast.
Back in DC there were 10s of thousands at the We Are All DC march and that was good. Come the 19th there's the We Are America march, where folk started today from Philly.
I've been looking at socials some. And everythign is argh. Turnberry said something about how I'm doing the good fight and I'm like "I'm mostly useless and if it gets to that I'll just die." Conversely he got AR14 training back in 2013.
I'm really not enjoying looking at White House and State Department socials and thinking "It's like Idiocracy but make it malevolent."
