Man With Sign, June 18, 02026

I wake with the alarm, drink my pre-vigil coffee, and head out on time, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 and setting up. No Craige today; he's attending to a medical issue. I set up my big sign, couple my speaker, and hold up CHANGE OUR CONVERSATION / CHANGE OUR CONSUMPTION / CHANGE OUR POLITICS. The air is cool, the sky is heavily clouded.

I wake before the alarm to a newly repopulated house; my wife, jet-lagged into early waking, has already made coffee! I head out into the morning, arriving at Roosevelt Circle a little late, at 7:33, greeting Craige, and setting up my various. Today's hand-held sign is the relatively wordy SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY.

I wake with the alarm and head downstairs for pre-vigil coffee, completing various small domestic tasks along the way, as wife & (now adult) kid return from India this afternoon, so the house should be looking good. Hit the road, arrive at Roosevelt Circle at 7:29, set up big sign & speaker, lean on rail holding MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. No Craige today.

Monday and I wake before the alarm, gather myself for the morning, and stagger downstairs for pre-vigil coffee. I head out to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:30, and set up my various accoutrements. Today being the beginning of the week, I am as usual holding up ALL-BLACK signage for the duration of our national nightmare. Craige arrives about 7:35 or so.

Friday finds me waking before the alarm, reading a few pages, sleeping again, finally waking with the buzzer and drinking my morning cuppa before heading out to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:31. I greet Craige, set up my big sign & speaker, and hold up my most frequent end-of-the-week message, the piously hortatory WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS.

It rained last night in the wee hours, and everything is warm and damp this morning as I set out to Roosevelt Circle a minute or two behind, arriving at 7:33 and setting up. Craige is out today so I am a soloist. I set up my big sign, couple my speaker, and take my seat on the railing. The hand-held sign for today is 2021 IPCC REPORT: "CODE RED" FOR HUMANITY.

I wake with the alarm, cut two thin slices of bread for toast, and have a few quiet minutes with my coffee before hitting the road, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 precisely. Craige arrives a couple of minutes later after I'm set up and singing. Today's hand-held message is CLIMATE CHAOS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE NEXT PANDEMIC.

It takes me a while to wake up properly this morning once the alarm goes off. I stare groggily at the room, cudgel my wits into a semblance of order, and lurch downstairs for pre-vigil coffee. Heading out, I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31, greet Craige, and set up my various signs. Today's hand-held message is EVERY DISASTER MOVIE STARTS WITH A SCIENTIST BEING IGNORED.

Monday finds me waking with the alarm, knocking back my coffee and heading out, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:32 and taking several minutes for conversation with Craige. It's 7:34 by the time I get my signs up. As usual for the beginning of the week, it's ALL-BLACK signage until sanity returns.

Man With Sign, June 5, 02026

I wake well before the alarm, spend some time trying to get back to sleep, give up, read a bit, then rise when the buzzer goes off and go about my vigil preparations as usual. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:29; Craige is already there, so we exchange greetings and I set up my sign and speaker, then lean on the railing holding LET'S BUILD A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER.
