Dammit, forgot that the pics from Thursday were on the old phone, and are now only on my laptop at home. Those'll have to wait. It was a gorgeous day for a bit of protesting action, and a pretty good turn-out for Cleveland (I'd guess about 150-200 people or so). We cheered, we chanted, there was hippy protest music, it was good. I met every dog in attendance, and also Greg Proops, randomly. I was there from noon 'til about three, Caleb and Grafton (and a number of our other friends) substantially longer. I think they might've gone over again today while I've been at work, but I'm not positive. Our living room table was covered in sign-making materials last I saw.

RTA busdrivers loved us, and honked on every circuit. Cops have mostly been friendly and supportive. Helps that they've right in the middle of fighting our asshole governor to save their unions. There were a lot of nurses, firefighters, and SEIU members there, too.
