Last month’s big protest at Cobb’s Hill was reaffirming. But it was someone’s brilliant stroke to organize yesterday’s demonstrations in so many parts of the city, in so many cities. Of course it made attending convenient and surely brought out more people. The local sites included “Lakeshore at Durand Eastman.” That’s more than a mile long. Where, we wondered?
We walked from our house through the park (with others) to the lake. We could hear the cars honking and the crowd cheering. The crowd lined Lakeshore Boulevard from Zoo Road to Rock Beach Road. Someone gave us a small upside down flag. “It’s a distress signal,” they said. Most people had homemade signs, not the mass produced signs you see at a Trump rally. We saw many of our neighbors. I told the women holding this sign that I liked her graphics. We came home with the flags. I feel like we are starting to reclaim it.

Dave B. And I went to the Winter Hawk Bluegrass Festival and it’s associated offshoots for decades. One of our signature moves was traveling around the fest to find unused 🛋 couches that were temporarily vacant. We would sit and take a luxurious load off till the owners showed back up. We called ourselves the ” Sofa Kings ” . And we were good at it. So , there were kings at one 🕐 time. Yeah , people actually dragged full size sofas 200 yards up a 40 deg incline hill to watch 5 day festivals in comfort. Waste not , want not.
