Retiree in Topeka, Kansas. Was a lawyer. Worked and lived Democratic politics for most of my lifetime. Descended from cattle ranchers and wheat farmers in and very near the Texas panhandle. And from one of Quantrill‘s Raiders.
A snapshot from Friday morning’s modest new-maps-not-happenin’ in Kansas celebration.

No Kings. Topeka, Kansas, USA. Me. Yellow T-shirt. Roast turkey headgear. A very poultry-friendly event.

And here is first term United States Senator from Missouri HST. For some reason he is fiddling with Jesse James’ handguns.

The April 19th social gathering at the south steps of the statehouse in Topeka, Kansas. That’s me in the orange stocking cap carrying a white cane. There on the front row, or close to it.

Sherman Smith’s article in the Kansas Reflector had this among several photos. And there I am. That is me in the tye dye shirt looking over my left shoulder towards the camera.
