I usually go somewhere for the Thanksgiving holiday - Canada, Mexico, one year Iceland, but these are unusual times and adjustments had to be made. So this year, instead of leaving the state (not advised) or leaving the country (not possible), I searched the map and found Guemes Island, one of the lesser known of the San Juans. This morning I drove to Anacortes and got on a small barge-ferry for the 5-minute crossing to this lovely, rural island which is home to about 600 people. I drove around for about an hour; half the people in cars and all the people on the road walking or biking waved to me. There are Black Lives Matter signs everywhere and practically every other property had a Biden-Harris sign out, which I did not expect and was delighted to see.

This exact sign was all over the island. Usually next to this one:

I only saw one of these.
