What I noticed today regarding my Rt 28 highway blogging
When just sitting there with the signs, you only get a few honks,
not many people see you.

When I was road side with Unhappy Camper, his advice was to wave
after folks honked. Before I just sat there thinking that the message of total US Soldier deaths updated daily, plus the Impleach Bush sign were a somber message, that shouldn't be exploited.
Waving turns out to be a good thing...

In fact, now I hold the signs and wave continuously (The arms are looking good with that exercise) More folks see you and you get more response, not always good, however today I'm thinking 50% honks
35%, picking noses, talking on phones etc.. don't see ya, and the rmainging 15% flipping me off!

Spent two hours out there today- it was awesome!

I think I'm gonna test drive the rotary this weekend. See how it works with departing tourists. I'm stoked, And hope some of you will come and join me. I've e-mailed Cape Codders for Peace and Justice, and the Cape Veterans for Peace. And there is a BBQ at my house Sunday of Labor Day with a keg and live entertainment!

Peace OUT

1. You could become a world famous symbol...
Like the guy in Bermuda who waved at passers by at a rotary for years.He looked sort of like Famous Amos.

6. Thanks, but I'm gonna pass that gold star to the real kids who deserve it
Here's to You, Our fine Soldiers!

I'm sorry Our Dear Leader cut your veterans benefits-
I promise to help you, when you come home.

5. That would be no different than
Assholes throwing shit at me when I'm bike
commuting to work. But thank, I'll be careful.
Just keep sending the good karma my way!
