At the nail salon today. Things were hopping all the pedicure chairs were full, all the seats at the nail bars, and ladies were waiting. I'd say there were about 35 of us in there, including the nail techs. #KavanaughAccuser

I looked at my tech, 20 something Vietnamese-American "Jackie" studying for her nursing degree at ASU. What do you think, Jackie? She frowned, pulled down her "mask" and said, "She's a liar", pulled her mask back up and continued with my nails.

The entire salon burst out laughing. Then someone's grandma from the Pedi-Chairs spoke up and said "Why don't they see this in DC? Why is the GOP so scared?" The conversation exploded again.

This went on, back and forth the entire time I was there getting my nails done--60 minutes at least. New clients would walk in, and join right in the conversation. NOT ONE WOMAN THOUGHT HE IS GUILTY. NONE.

A Senior Citizen in a tennis outfit who had been mostly quiet but nodding along, spoke up when the conversation lulled. "I actually was attacked and raped by someone I knew, when I was 16". You could have heard a pin drop. Everything stopped.

My stomach fell. A few gasped. Someone said "I'm so sorry, we didn't mean..." She cut her off with a wave. "No, no...not at all. I agree with you." She told how she clearly remembers everything "unfortunately" to this day, "over 5 decades later".

I've never seen people hug a stranger in a nail salon until today. But we all did. She said "Yes, women should be heard. But they must be truthful, and there's nothing worse than ruining someone's life with a lie."

So, there's a snapshot. These conversations are being had everywhere, but they're not what you might think. I was surprised at the consistency of opinion, but they were up on the facts.

Thanks Shinobi...I was actually really surprised. I don't remember ever being in a nail salon or hair salon etc where it was one single convo, unless it's a wedding party taking over or something. It was amazing to watch. I wish I'd recorded it...but...nails.
