Well, I gimp-marched in Florence, Oregon

[CanonRay]

about 150 strong in the 39 degree rain. Me in my knee brace. Lots of honks from supporters along US 101

1. Good for you!

2. Thank you

I appreciate all who do so, especially in difficult conditions since I'm unable to.

3. Good for you

I never could figure out how to cope with my gimpiness, so I didn't go. But I've written my reps (all red) and will call them.

4. Hey, that is great!

As a severe chronic pain person (in Portland), I'm really proud of you. I wouldn't make it half a block, so I know the sacrifice you made to get out there in the cold and damp ocean air.

Thank you for doing that. I hope your knee doesn't act up too much later.



PS: I hope it wasn't windy too.

5. Thanks to all!

I'm so proud of these kids, they are giving me hope!

6. Good Job!

Question...I still got at least 10 years, but, retire in Florence or Coos Bay? Love Depoe Bay, but don't think I'll find affordable land I can drop a two bedroom mobile home on.

8. Florence is much more liberal than Coos Bay

in my opinion. Coos is more of a red-neck lumber town, but things can change over 10 years. I think both are equally affordable, although the rental market in Florence is currently very tight.

7. We had a couple hundred in Astoria

where it was also raining (with wintry mix). It was just standing on the corner where the main street breaks into two one-way streets (so to stay on the highway, drivers make a sharp right followed by a sharp left one block later). If it had been walking, I would have pulled the mobility scooter out of the car instead of using a cane.
