Capers are evil.
Turns out TJs at 9:45 on a Friday night is a bad idea. So crowded! But I got broccoli slaw and whole fat Greek yogurt, and crackers.

What do people use to create protest signs? Is there some sort of special paper t keep them from being floppy?
Anyway, I hate crowds and noise and NC outdoors in July. But it turns out I hate babies in kennels more, so I'm going to a rally today. It's at 10:30 so things won't be at their hottest yet. I figure even without a sign I'm another body there, and that's not nothing.

Grr. Asshole customer at my volunteer job left me shaken.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I used foam board for mine and then put the signs on with spray adhesive.

For a moment I thought you were speaking about asshole customers, and had questions about the foam board.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've just used a cardboard box cut up, but I think most people use posterboard. One guy I saw today had his taped to a lacrosse stick, which I enjoyed a great deal.

Thanks to everybody going out to protest. You all are an inspiration.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What happened, sj? If you want to talk about it. If not, then may jock itch consume them.

Thanks y'all. Today's protest was a good experience so if there's another one (unfortunately, I'm sure we'll need more), I'll see about getting some signage going. As it was, I got lots of photos of other people's signs and joined in a bunch of chanting. There were a lot of people there registering voters, which was nice to see (and maybe more useful than me shouting "families belong together" in the long run). I should check in with the local Dems and see about doing voter reg. again.
sj, I'm sorry about the asshole. It's bad enough dealing with them when you're getting paid, much less as a volunteer.

True.
Thank you to all who protested. I'm still in Otter Lake, and could possibly have found something within 50 miles, but too time crunched.
