I had just...Hi, Eve--Oh! Eve from college? HI!!!<br /><br />I had just popped back in here to Blog Central and was thinking of deleting this entry because I was wrong about the rally date and thus this blog kinda makes the good folks of my area look like a bunch of apathetic mall dwellers or something, when really there WAS a good turn-out on Saturday (as in, the actual date of the rally *LOL*), from what I'm told now by rally organizers. I just knew the peeps of my sweet city (St. Petersburg, FL) and environs DO CARE and do get it! However, I will leave the blog up but might put my update comment as a preamble at the beginning of the blog instead of a comment after the end, as it currently is. I want people to know from the git-go that it is I who am an idiot and got the date wrong, and that there IS hope for this world because there are caring people in it who SHOW UP. That is all any of us can do to effect change: SHOW UP. I always come back to Gandhi: you must be the change you wish to see in the world.<br /><br />It's all about the choices we make about where to be every day, what to stand up for, what to say, when not to keep silent, etc., etc., etc., yada yada yada, gotta go: work beckons. Keep reading my blog (that's an order!). I haven't been writing many entries lately, but hopefully, if I EVER get a computer at home, that will change. I'm honored to have you aboard the good ship Peppermint!Peppermint (Edna)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06849616425093543141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565510861813966983.post-14434685757290742452011-10-03T12:10:15.846-04:002011-10-03T12:10:15.846-04:00I am sorry you had such a tough day and I agree ab...I am sorry you had such a tough day and I agree about the state of our country but your experience of being the only participant at Sunday's rally made me laugh outloud!! 32 blocks in each direction is a great workout!!

Turns out, the main rally date was SATURDAY (the time listed was off kilter for the St. Pete event) and thus no one was there on Sunday, other than the Dumb-Butt Contingent, consisting solely of moi. Yay, the human race is not totally apathetic! I'll take me being a dumb butt over the world being apathetic!<br /><br />I'm leaving this blog entry up because, sadly, the theme of America being in Great Depression II is still valid. I only wish I were wrong about that, too.Peppermint (Edna)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06849616425093543141noreply@blogger.com
