Man With Sign, April 23, 02026

It's a little warmer, in the 40s F, as I arrive at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31. Craige had alerted me not to expect him this morning, so I'm a soloist. I set up my big sign, couple phone and speaker, and lean on the railing while holding up SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY. I'm drowsy, a little sore, not highly motivated. But I'm here.

It's late April and the weather is back to being just over freezing again. Huh, some spring this has turned out to be. I'm well-enough swaddled that I don't notice the cold, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 for an hour as a soloist, holding up CHANGE OUR CONVERSATION / CHANGE OUR CONSUMPTION / CHANGE OUR POLITICS.

Tuesday's cold, almost freezing. So much for signs of spring everywhere tra la la la, eh? I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 and find Craige already there, glowing with virtue. The skies are clear, there's a slight breeze, and after I set up my big sign and speaker, I lean on the guardrail holding WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL. Because (drum roll, please) it is. It totally is.

It's raining lightly this morning, enough so that I take an umbrella, but not enough that I leave my foam-core signs at home. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, set up my big sign but leave my speaker in its cloth bag to keep it from the damp, and hold up CLIMATE CHAOS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE NEXT PANDEMIC. Craige arrives about 7:35 or so.

It's cooler outside this morning as I walk up to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:30 and setting up. No Craige today. I get my big sign clamped to the post, my speaker coupled, and my butt resting on the guardrail as I hold up EVERY DISASTER MOVIE STARTS WITH A SCIENTIST BEING IGNORED. There was a little rain last night, and everything's damp and cool.

It's pleasantly warm out here, a little over 60 F. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 exactly and set up my stuff, then rest on the guardrail holding up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS. Craige arrives a few minutes later, and we touch base briefly. He's got all his equipment in a little cart, including a folding chair. Why shouldn't we be comfortable while we're uncomfortable?

Ooooh! It's warm outside! In the upper 50s F, and I'm overdressed in a down winter coat. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31, set up my big sign, couple my speaker, and hold up the data-heavy 2021 IPCC REPORT: "CODE RED" FOR HUMANITY. Craige is out today, so I am a soloist here on the roadside under an actual blue spring sky. Not bad at all.

Monday is a little warmer, in the mid-40s F, and I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31. After clamping my big sign to the guardrail post, with the matte black side facing traffic, I connect my speaker and hold up my ALL-BLACK foam-core board as my personal grim greeting to the week. Craige arrives about fifteen minutes late, having overslept.

Friday morning and it's 7:30 as I walk up to Roosevelt Circle. The weather is lovely — pleasantly cool but above freezing, with blue skies above — and I set up my stuff and lean on the railing, holding up THINK IN EONS — ACT NOW! At first I think Craige's not going to show, but he gets here a little after 8 in the company of John Gallagher.
