In a cattle-car using an M-16 A1 Automatic rifle to prop up my helmet, en-route to be tear-gassed.
My parents called tonight and asked if they could come on Thursday, I am NOT looking forward to seeing my hyper-christian Maga supporting white-Nationalist parents, and neither are my very sensible, LQTBQ+ supporting children and their partners, and spouses. Tomorrow, I have to call and tell them that any nonsense, or statements like the ones that were made at the last event we were at will be met by asking them to leave. Yay.
First thing I thought of also, but I rewatch Dogma regularly.

Never will I fly Delta again.
I like a lot of different types of music, my top three artists are John Prine, Leonard Cohen, and Steve Earle. I had NO idea how much I would appreciate Machine Gun Kelly.
Not a movie, but an actor. He died in 2018, but I always identified with Ricky Jay (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0419633/?ref_=tt_cl_t_6) from the first time I saw Heist. RIP, Sir.

Iowa here: We are where the campaigns try to hone their messages in front of small groups, before they take them nationally. So, I've been to many small to medium group gatherings. In small groups you can ask questions, but the replies are almost always some portion of a stump speech that may or may not contain an answer. I have had aides contact me later with better answers to my questions.
The biggest event I've attended was the Ames Straw Poll, back in 2012. It was interesting, meeting the candidates up close, then the big meeting at the end. None of the candidates I was interested in made it very far, and I don't belong to that political party any more, but under the right circumstances I would go back.
It's 6 stories with a huge amount of room near Rayne tower. I've got another small one for ores and coal, but this is where the work gets done.
Someday, I am going to watch "The Notebook", and "Forest Gump", not on the same day.
