THEY'RE STILL THERE!!
Just saw a local news report...Despite horrific weather they are still occupying. The crowd has thinned and the comfort tent had to be braced with lumber but they are still a presence, Bless their brace hearts.

1. Some of them don't have anywhere else to go
while others are brave souls who are spending the nights there to make a point.

One of my knitting groups has started making hats and mittens for them. I'm eying my stash and wondering what I could contribute.

2. The Fact That Some Don't Have A Place To Go
Is a statement in and of itself.

3. I posted something to that effect over in the Crafts group
Does your knitting group have an address for OWS to send items to? I, too, may have some stash.

6. Thanks! That was the one I have
but I'll probably just walk the stuff down to the local occupation should I manage to get any of it made soon.
