Milestones

I have not downloaded my photos yet and will get around to that soon. Since my kayaking trip to Voyageur National Park in northern Minnesota, I have been getting ready for the 9-12 March in Washington, DC. I was there. And there were over a million people. Maybe even as much as two million. The atmosphere was like a huge family reunion or a big picnic. Everyone other than the few ACORN members was friendly, helpful, cheerful, and having a lot of fun. One grandfather said he was bringing his grandchildren next year. One black couple weren't sure how they'd be treated, but were accepted by everyone and plan to bring their children next year. There was no animosity, no division, no Republican, no Democrat, or other political party. We were ALL Americans again, similar and maybe better than we were on 09-11-2001. There was a lot of positive energy at the March. The speakers were also very good and had both interesting and timely speeches. Lloyd Marcus was great . . . if you haven't heard him sing, check him out on youtube.

When it was over and I was once again walking back to Union Station to catch a train, the Capitol Police told the group I was walking with to cross in the middle of the street. We thanked them. And they said, "THANK YOU." How many "protest groups" have had the Capitol Police say that to them?
