There were 2 rallies/protests/marches in my town yesterday.  The above was for the 2nd one.  Ours started at noon, where we marched 3-4 blocks to Hackley Park.  We chanted our protests along the way, such as “Our Streets” and “No More Kings.”  We stayed on the sidewalks for about half of it and then filled the street.  The crowd was upbeat and smiling, even as we talked between ourselves about the reasons we were there.  A whole lot of good signs.  There were no frogs, which I was surprised by, but there was a short giraffe and a T-Rex.  

There is a band pavilion at the park as we have Friday Party in the Parks there in nice weather.  A very good setup for political rallies also.  

I estimate there were twice as many people there from NKD 2.  

Here’s me, looking like a dweeb.  My hair was wet and it was hovering around freezing.  Of course I forgot my warm hat and a pair of gloves.  Thanks to Barb, a friend of mine, for the sunglasses, who helped with the disguise.

Oops I guess there was a frog there!  

Since I didn’t bring a bag chair — not very prepared, was I! — my feet started hurting after the march and standing in place for an hour.  Decided to walk across the street and have a sit with Mr. Charles Hackley.  Several folks walked by and took our pic.  One lady propped her sign up by Charles and I took his pic with it.  The  “No Kings in America since 1776” sign is one my friend made and my friend’s mom gave it to me.  

Please!  If you were “out there” and/or have a story to share about NKD 3, will you share it?
