Week 4 on the protest picket line

I have met some nice people who walk their kids to school.
Some people walk across the street to avoid me. 
If anyone walks by - I greet them.   
It is getting lighter in the mornings and today was just gorgeous.
I probably get a good mile to mile and a half in each morning.  But it is the same block that I walk up and down.
Today and old guy in a truck slowed down - gave me a wave and a thumbs up.    Ahhh.  That was nice.

I had to pick up the kid after school for an appointment, and I thought to myself, "What the heck.  Why not get there early and do the picket line for a bit while I wait for school to get out?"
Usually, I am just there in the mornings.
Traffic was much lighter than in the morning.
One woman in a truck, rolled down the window and yelled out, "Why don't you give it up and just go home!  We WANT recruiters here!"
Well.  
That was rude, but insightful.
It means that she has seen me day after day and that she has read my sign.  
Good.  
 That means I am making my point.  
That rude woman was a good sign.

(If it is a good sign, it  is a miracle! )

Hey Barb. You don't know me although we are friends on Facebook. May I send you a dvd titled I AM. I would need your mailing address. By the way... you are a hero. I have been protesting STARBASE but can't seem to get any teachers thinking "outside" the box.
