I suspect there are still plenty of mementos, if not baggage. A good balance, one hopes.

With my cat-sitting comings and goings this week I find an overlap for my now carefully managed political activity; tomorrow morning en route to the house is a protest on a highway pedestrian bridge. I'll put on a message t-shirt and get out one of my signs and stop for a while before the late morning feeding. The setup for protestors is a large sign stretched out along a pedestrian bridge over the freeway, with a bunch of people behind it waving other signs. With as much traffic as passes under there, it gets a lot of attention for a couple of hours. I could even make a new sign, I have quite a collection now.
