Yes indeed. I'm thinking poor Jon would forget whatever it was he was about to do when he saw your sign, EK.

And Boss's lady sounds pretty official. Congratulations!

I'm (finally) finished the first video! I set it to Peace Train, which Cat Stevens performed live. The footage is bouncy in areas as I am precariously perched on a nylon folding stool.

All the footage is my own. (For a change from the usual. :lol:)

Hi! It looks great (I can't hear the music because I'm at work.) I hate to be a party pooper, but can you change your post from a clickable video to a link to your site with written directions to the video? No political messages are allowed on this site, and you have some signs in your video. SORRY!!!!

Thanks!

I have another happy story of moderation related to the rally. One of my astronomy friends, who is very conservative and very mathematical, called last night to hear about "my rally" and compare it to the Glenn Beck rally he attended. He was analyzing aerial photos of both rallies and reestimating the crowds and reported to me that both crowds had been grossly undercounted. He said the Rally to Restore Sanity probably had 350,000 people and his rally slightly more. He listened to my stories of what went on at the Rally to Restore Sanity, including my sign, and said, "Well great. That sounds really nice. It sounds like a good rally," and we both reiterated a position we held in common that issues should be decided based on the evidence. I am still feeling hopeful today. :? Maybe we can all move forward.

Here I am on the Peace Train:

Image

We are making horrible faces in this one, but see Abraham Lincoln behind us? He was in costume and in character, exhorting his fellow passengers to "Be Excellent to One Another" and to squeeze together to fit more on the train (this was the way home).

Here's another of the crowded ride home:

And I love how Par colored this one. On facebook, she titled it "Go restore sanity!" Oh shoot let me find it.

Awesome pics JT! Thanks for sharing them :D It was really great meeting you and Par...

And of course, it was a real treat to meet Starwatcher... and to hang-out with our ol' pal Johnny-O again! Ya done good kid... Real good ;)

As EK has trumpeted in her typically unabashed way, we had a really nice time; and, getting to meet up with all of you from the board, thousands of miles from home, was a true highlight that we'll always remember :D

...I think we might just have to go back to DC, and see the other 95% of the attractions... It really is an amazing city... I'm just sayin' 8)
