Man With Sign, April 8, 02026
Wednesday morning is chilly and I make sure to dress with some extra layers; it's in the mid-20s out there, which is cold for April. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7;30, set up my stuff, and hold up MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Craige is again out, though he's hoping to be back tomorrow.

I wake before the alarm, but I'm still a tad behind by the time I leave the house, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:32 under grey skies that portend rain. I've brought my umbrella, so I'm prepared. Set up my sign and speaker, lean on railing, hold up SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY. No Craige today.

Monday, and it's in the upper 30s F — cold for April. But the morning is bright and I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31, set up my ALL-BLACK signage, and settler into vigil space, holding up a blank piece of black foam-core and trying to keep myself breathing slowly and calmly, because goodness knows the rest of the world is hyperventilating like crazy and who can blame them?

Friday is another cold morning, with temps in the mid-30s and very humid. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:32 and set up. Today's hand-held message is the multi-colored WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL, and if this ain't weird times I don't know what would qualify. Craige arrives a few minutes later and we chat briefly.

There is a light and intermittent rain this Thursday morning, and not only that, it's cold again — a few degrees above freezing with a bit of a breeze. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, a soloist, and set up my odds'n'ends. Today's hand-held message is the ever-popular EVERY DISASTER MOVIE STARTS WITH A SCIENTIST BEING IGNORED.

Wednesday is cool, in the upper 40s F, moist but not foggy. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7;30, as Craige is walking up. He has his equipment in a little cart, along with a folding chair, a huge improvement I hope keeps him comfortable going forward. I set up my sign & speaker, and lean on the guardrail, holding up CLIMATE CHAOS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE NEXT PANDEMIC.

It's raining this morning, and I leave the foam-core sign behind, carrying only my big wood CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL along with my speaker (which gets left safely in my shoulderbag) and a battered blue umbrella. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:29. To my surprise and pleasure, Craige arrives a few minutes later, sheltered from the storm with a yellow poncho.

Monday and I first wake an hour ahead of the alarm, then return to sleep until I'm jolted into awareness. I take care of my pre-vigil coffee and toast, hit the road, arrive at Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, once again a soloist. As with every Monday in the past year, it's ALL-BLACK SIGNAGE until whenever our sanity returns (or I just give up, whichever comes first).

It's grey and windy, so even with temperatures in the 40s it feels colder. I've foregone my pre-vigil coffee and toast as I have to get blood samples taken after I'm done here (just routine tests), so I'm uncaffeinated. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 and set up (a soloist again), with today's handheld message reading MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
