Only a few message from James and one from Lynn - well, apart from the

I imagine the American posters are either updating their passports
or making lists of which neighbours to inform on and the rest of us
are trying to work out if we're Austria or Poland.
 
(if you have to ask, you're always Poland)

As for me I will stay here in San Francisco as long as I can.
The Darn Old Fart shortly to be in charge but as yet impotent to
act may fume noxiously but he does not smoke. And he could die before
he does anything too terrible aside from successfully dividing the
nation.

Assuming you mean while actually in Office, then Vance would take
over.

And /that/ would be pretty terrible, IMHO.

I have no neighbors to inform on nor passport to update
nor funds to flee. Not so many years ago I tried to find a
better place for me to be than in San Francisco and not even
Seattle tempted me.

Seattle doesn't want you. We are actually considering reviving the
Lesser Seattle movement of the past.

Remember, it always rains in Seattle.
