And a tall blue creature from straight outta the “B.C.” comics.

Wildly fun out at the protest corner, gotta say! Some people bring lawn chairs. Everybody has clever signs. Bubbles were the thing, this week, on three of the four corners at the big intersection where we do this every Friday. The mood was light-hearted, friendly, very upbeat, with a just a touch of managed mirth. Everybody was happy to be there and add to the camaraderie of the event. A REAL upper. Easily earned the cliche “a fun time was had by all”!

Gotta say, I’m gonna do this every possible Friday til I drop over dead.
