OT. Pushed a 86 yo woman in a wheel chair for a few blocks
in Portland. She lived in the area of the 'Hands off' march. She wanted to pay me. I think she was wealthy. She held my sign. She was probably sharper than most and funny as hell. Wish I had more time to spend with her. An absolute hoot and salty. Called herself and old battle ax. Who was I to disagree.
Sat with her for the pregame show and we hatched this plan. We were in the front part of the column and after a few blocks she wanted me to take her back. Of course I did not argue. Got back in plenty of time to do the march from the back of the pack.
We were text buddies for a time. I have not heard from her for quite a while. I fear the worst.
if so, she went out swinging.
I hope I have this same vigor and heart.
