At your elevation you have nothing to worry about this winter.

This certainly has that vibe. Could be a really good one coming up.

Another solid cool day for SEA today. Dew points in the upper 30 / low 40s now. Assuming it clears out as expected tonight there will be 30s in several locations. Things could be a lot worse!

Are they gonna drop 5-10" of 36 degree rain on me or 5-10' of 30 degree snow?

Are you going to schools and talking about gender issues? If someone is yelling at a transgender kid that they are only two genders then I could see that as bullying. Most of this is just silly stuff. But yes... during COVID and the BLM protests things got pretty nutty. It was a strange period. Now BLM is sort of taboo. You don't ever hear about it now. You seem to want to cling so tightly to things even after it goes away like you wanted. The abortion clinic thing seems to be in reference to England and its related to a 150-foot buffer zone which reduces the risk of confrontation. You are turning it into free speech issue when in fact its not stopping anyone from praying... its a distance issue. You have to realize that allowing all free speech can create dangers to others. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You can't threaten someone's life. There will always be some limits on free speech because the line can be blurry between free speech and protecting the safety of others. I think you are free to say pretty much anything you want to say and you exercise that right all the time here while complaining you aren't allowed to speak freely.
