Every Saturday, protesters stand on opposite corners of the major intersection downtown and have a "pro war"/"no war" honking contest...it is HYSTERICAL! I heard about them and expected young liberals or middle aged conservatives and it is a throw back from the 60s! Everyone there is a senior citizen and it is the old hippies vs. the war vets. I LOVE the freedom we have in this country, but aren't we supposedly moving toward an undivided nation? I know it will never happen, 
and this kind of thing is a living example. It was a great to see people standing for something, no matter what, and actually voicing it publicly. Old people, I knew they were wise and all, but man are they cool....p.s. so sad i couldn't get a pic of the old vets in their full getup...they were around the corner....

You're right, there is something exciting to be found in seeing a group of people motivated about relatively anything. I also know the frustration of the divide. Still, it is a country and the work of men. I doubt they'll agree on much of anything 'till kingdom come. Good to hear that you had a chance at some fresh air though! You are missed greatly.
Those are some amazing photos...those people are really old! haha!
right on
