Second attempt at this, as the first time all the pictures I put up were wildly distorted. I scrapped the post, and forgot to save the text. So, here goes again.
As I said yesterday, we here in Mystic had our own little demonstration by the statue of Johnny Kelley, one of three Boston Marathon winners (the others being Tarzan Brown and Amby Burfoot), to win the Boston Marathon. Johnny was an institution around here, and I’m sure he would have approved of our choice of locale. Here he is, all dressed up for the demonstration.
So,as I understand it, the demonstration were “yuge” all over the world. Our son is in Chicago, and he told us that the demonstration there so far exceeded expectation that it had to be cancelled. We’ll know how much this got under the Donald’s skin by seeing how early he gets up to tweet about what he will say, despite all the evidence, was a low turnout. I truly believe that we need to keep the pressure on him, both this sort of thing, and a constant stream of belittling jokes and memes.
During the time I was there (we were among the last to leave) I only witnessed two examples of negative feedback from the passing cars. For the most part, there was a constant stream of supportive honking. It seems the, at least in the Land of Steady Habits, the Orange One is not popular, and his numbers will likely never go up.
A few more pictures, which, hopefully will be undistorted.
I don’t know why, but these pictures were a bit of a struggle. You can see them full size by clicking on them. Anyway, we did our bit, and the tourists seemed to respond well.
