TFRs

Inflight TFR's through ADSB is a good thing but about caused me to soil my pants today 
I checked the weather including TFRs and the like before heading out for a flight around the patch this morning. There was/is a presidential TFR for tomorrow in the Dallas area which would affect me but today was good. Off I go!
Ten minutes into my flight a yellow ring shows up on my 795 indicating a TFR. WTF? Did Trump change his plans and I now have busted a presidential TFR? I half-way was looking for F16's to escort me down..... I pulled up the actual TFR and it is indeed for tomorrow. I'm guessing a 'yellow' ring means warning or not yet active, while a 'red' ring means active.
Whew!
