I finally got it out and posted a diary on it. <BR/><BR/>The rally was very surreal. Peaceful at times. Chaotic and scary at other times. <BR/><BR/>And there were times when you couldn't tell what was going on. <BR/><BR/>I mean, we were packing up the tents about a block away from one riot and didn't know it. <BR/><BR/>Last year it was at an open area - the waterfront where you could SEE around you. I did not like the lay out of this rally. IT felt claustropphobic. <BR/><BR/>here's some photos<BR/>http://www.soapblox.net/myleftwing/showDiary.do;jsessionid=FE35D73262321BD9386A5458193307B9?diaryId=15460Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-87158363930681535792007-03-21T12:14:00.000-06:002007-03-21T12:14:00.000-06:00Hey !

Got some of the Faux news setting up to edit the day... grrr. <BR/><BR/>Sorry your feet gave you problems. <BR/><BR/>I almost took a photo of this one fellow marcher. He has polio and had the crutches. He marched the entire thing and stayed for the after party. <BR/><BR/>I've marched with people who have severe disabilities or illnesses and it always amazes me who didn't turn up and why. One lady I know from work didn't march because she didn't want to risk her new pedicure... ACK!<BR/><BR/>My feet are killing me today, too. I have plantar fasciitus. AKA heel spurs. From standing/working on them for 8 hours a day. I have to go in soon (I'm a horrible procrastinator) to see about injections. <BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure what I'm feeling today... I'm kinda pissed off actually. Another fucking year. Another fucking march.<BR/><BR/>I did like the action tents. Those were cool! <BR/><BR/>But those damn church bells. Was that counter protest??? <BR/><BR/>But it was interesting to see some action shots that included me - at some of the action tents. LOL. Was sort of an out of body experience in a way. All the people I now know... <BR/><BR/>I guess Portland is really my home. <BR/><BR/>I've never really felt like anywhere was my home. Till Portland, CodePink and the Peace Groups. <BR/><BR/>PS I think the Peace Keepers did one hell of a job yesterday.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436698355693037330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-75557985287823172022007-03-18T22:23:00.000-06:002007-03-18T22:23:00.000-06:00(((hugs))) for both of you!(((hugs))) for both of you!catniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444186590009089070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-67115838110587609252007-03-18T20:49:00.000-06:002007-03-18T20:49:00.000-06:00Janet, I left early because my feet don't hold up ...Janet, I left early because my feet don't hold up well for lots of standing.
