Surely you are not getting your news from my blog and you are aware of the death of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers and the civil unrest that followed. Yesterday there was a peaceful protest at the capitol attended by thousands including the Mayor. After the planned protest, things got ugly. Violence erupted in several areas of downtown. Buildings were spray painted and vandalized and several people set small fires at the court house. I left before any of this happened so I don't have any pictures of the jerks that came downtown to cause trouble, just peaceful protesters. Unfortunately the reason I left early is because my camera was malfunctioning and I wanted to try to repair it. A day later and I still have no camera, Nikon is not taking repairs during the pandemic and I have heard that the local repair place has not been returning calls. Until I can get it fixed, I guess I'll be taking a break from the blog. Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll be up and running again soon. I'm going to post the pictures from the "We Will Breathe" rally without commentary.
