Saturday's We the People Want Hands Off Our Democracy Downtown Wichita Falls Protest

I have wondered a time or two if my local location of Wichita Falls, Texas will be participating in the National Day of Protests Action.

I blogged about this on one of my other blogs in Final 2025 March Saturday At Sikes Lake.

Well, this morning's Wichita Falls Times News Record has the news that there will be a protest on Saturday, in downtown Wichita Falls.

The info from the Times News Record...

The Wichita County Democratic Association will host a "Rally for Democracy" 1-3 p.m. Saturday at the park at Eighth Street and Scott Avenue in downtown Wichita Falls.

The theme is “We the People Want Hands Off Our Democracy.”

The release said the Wichita Falls rally is one of more than 500 planned for Saturday nationwide.

“This is the next in a series of rallies and protests aimed at making our point that we oppose getting the U.S. out of NATO, we support Sheppard Air Force Base, we support U.S. postal workers and we oppose cuts to programs that would affect so many of our friends and neighbors,” Stephenson said in the release. “It’s urgent that we show where we stand as the president and Elon Musk dismantle our government.”

Wednesday Wichita Falls Texas Fog Day

Before 5 o'clock, this afternoon of the final Wednesday of the first month of 2025, I ventured outside in the near zero visibility conditions to make my way to ALDI.

This morning the precipitation was in form of a drizzle. By afternoon this turned into a dense fog, a dense fog of the sort I used to regularly experience when living on the West Coast, with the Pacific Ocean, and Puget Sound nearby.

Wichita Falls is hundreds of miles from the nearest large body of water, that being that body of water which used to be known as the Gulf of Mexico.

I have no idea what is producing this thick fog at this North Texas location.

Thunderstorms are currently predicted to begin booming in about an hour. Tomorrow, the next to last day of January 2025, more thunderstorms are predicted, along with heavy rain, so heavy as to present a flash flood danger. Oh, and possible tornadoes are on the weather menu for tomorrow.

I forgot to mention that the photo documentation you see above is the view through my vehicle's windshield, upon arriving at the ALDI parking lot, looking north through the fog, at a gas station, selling gas a lot cheaper than I suspect the price of gas is for some of those reading this...
