It’s been a little over a week since the crash of a private plane, which according to the White House was transporting President Rudolfo “Rudy” Ruiz from Turner Falls to a “private fundraiser” at Cibolo Creek Ranch1 in West Texas, resulted in the death of the most-loved and most-hated president of the modern era. The New York Times has reported that the plane was registered to the pastor of Turner Falls’ New Life Church, Kathy Donaldson, a longtime ally and mentor to President Ruiz.

For now, the Rudy Ralliers who descended upon Turner Falls for the president’s memorial events have mostly emptied out from area parks and campgrounds, and things are sort of starting to return to something like normal around here.

Although what value the word “normal” has these days is probably up for debate. Officials in Washington, D.C. have instituted a 9 p.m. curfew following what is now going on nine days of protests and demonstrations in and around the Capitol complex, leading to dozens of arrests — mostly of left-leaning #FreezeRuiz activists, who have clashed with the right-wing “Pink Bandana Brigade” and “Rud Boys,” student offshoots of the LibertyNow! movement.
