A day at two museums

The plan was to see the Irving Penn ( de Young) exhibit and a Japanese print exhibit at the legion of honor

The first part of the plan worked perfectly the second part of total failure as the Japanese prints do not open them until April 6

-Mention Lina Khan, who oversees the Federal Trade Commission (the antitrust police),

-or Gary Gensler, who leads the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Wall Street police),
