I am one tired grandma.
Our local protest was big and loud.
I did my best.
The increased participation and the support of passing motorist's was wonderful.
I wore layers as we started out in the cold and ended up in the warm afternoon sun.
I wore my red hat before it got too warm.
My grandson took this photo right before the official end of the protest.
Most people were nice to me.
I am happy to report that no one was run over or otherwise hurt on my corner.
A win considering how many people were lining highway 101 and oblivious to the hazards presented by cars moving inches from where they were waving their sign.
I really felt like one of many making good trouble today.

@NorcalGma2 Had a similar experience with my crowd, where people were dangerously unaware of being a little too close to traffic. I tried to convince people to make sure to stay behind the curb, but they kept getting in the street or standing with their feet over the curb. If we had any cops today, they would have nipped that in the bud, but none showed up to a demonstration of around 2000 at a busy intersection.

I hope you get some much-needed rest. A dog tugged really hard against their owner's leash today, trying to be my friend. It made me think of Summer.
