On my lunch today (Wednesday), took walk down to mall from my office nearby. Eerily quiet. Not a tourist in sight, or many folks around. Think tourists staying away this week because of election and any post election havoc. Reminded me of time during Covid when city emptied out. On walk around mall, saw one vendor selling MAGA hats in different colors. Didn’t seem to be making any sales. Didn’t have time as I had hoped to go visit Lincoln. Thinking what he is thinking about this election. Picture him with his head in his hands despairing as many of us.”
