Saturday

I was surprised. I thought people would put off the protest with the hope they could go to one when it wasn't raining. There are a lot of protests scheduled around here over the weekend.

Fortunately they had protest signs for people who didn't have one. My regular sign wasn't appropriate for this particular protest, so I availed myself of one of the signs already made. Mine said "Out of Venezuela Now!"

Lots of honking and waving in support. Two comments from guys who said stuff like "get a life." There are always jerks around, even in a blue town in a fairly blue state.
