No Kings At Nephew Jason's Anacortes Washington Fidalgo Drive-In

 Just arrived, email from my Favorite Nephew, Jason, subject "No Kings at Fidalgo Drive-In".

Email included a video, which required enabling something called a Google Drive, or some such thing.

I then made the above screen cap from the video.

There was a lot of horn honking in the video, unlike the no horns honking at the Wichita Falls No Kings Protest I briefly attended a couple hours ago. Set in a park, not on a street.

The Fidalgo Drive-In is in Anacortes, with the main drag, the road which the Fidalgo Drive-In is on, called Commerical Avenue, if I am remembering correctly.

A great location for a protest march, unlike having such in a park.

I've also now seen a video of the No Kings Protest in my other favorite Texas town, Fort Worth. It  was/is HUGE.

From what I have seen most of these protests have been in protest march mode. not stationary, like the one in the town I am in.

Including the HUGE protest marches I've seen photo documented in other countries.

The No Kings Protest 2.0 appears to be historically HUGE, world-wide. Being optimistic, and likely naive, maybe this will be the turning point which heads us back to America being normal again, rather than seeming to be run by lunatics from an insane asylum.

Wichita Falls Thunderstorming For No Kings Protest 2.0

An hour, or so, after daybreak broke on this third Saturday morning of the 2025 version of October, a violent thunderstorm arrived, along with heavy rain and wind gusts, as you can see via the photo documentation of the view from my kitchen window.

Well, you can sort of see the heavy rain, but not the wind gusts.

When daybreak did break this morning, I looked out my bedroom window and saw extremely dark clouds, with lightning strikes, in the distance. So distant I heard no thunder, at that point in time.

The menacing looking dark clouds were to the south, over the next county in that direction, known as Archer County.

Yesterday I saw no weather forecasts forecasting any storm action.

It is an hour and a half til the start of the Wichita Falls version of No Kings Protest 2.0. 

The weather forecast is currently now forecasting storm action during the protest time frame.

The Wichita Falls version of No Kings Protest 1.0, took place in downtown Wichita Falls and featured a surprising, to me, large crowd. Along with a lot of people driving by showing support via horn honking.

Today's Wichita Falls No Kings Protest 2.0 is taking place less than a mile north of my home location.

In Hamilton Park.

Hamilton Park is accessed via Hamilton Boulevard.

Hamiliton Boulevard is one of the roads in the Wichita Falls area I have long referred to as the Beverly Hill of Wichita Falls. Due to so many giant mansions with massive yards.

I'm thinking my participation in No Kings Protest 2.0 is now weather dependent. I rather enjoyed the previous No Kings Protest, back in July. Today's is predicted to be larger.

We shall see....

NO Kings Protest In Burlington Washington

The day of the No Kings Protests I learned of the protest in the Skagit Valley town of Anacortes.

This morning, I read a report about the protest in the biggest town in the Skagit Valley, Mount Vernon.

And now, tonight, also known as Monday night, I heard from my Favorite Nephew Jason, about Saturday's No Kings Protest in the town I grew up in, a couple miles north of Mount Vernon, the town known as Burlington.

Burlington's population is only a little over 10,000.

Judging from the video, the No Kings Protest turnout in Burlington was way bigger than the Wichita Falls turnout, a town over 100,000 in population.

I hope the link to the Go Skagit (Skagit Valley Herald) VIDEO: 'No Kings' protest in Burlington article and video works.
