the world is your acorn

The youth coordinator at the Vote No on 1 campaign organized a demonstration downtown yesterday. People were out there from 11am-6pm holding signs, chanting, and talking to people. It was really cool to see a lot of young people involved and volunteering their time. There were even people who saw us and just joined in on the spot, and called their friends to come by.

Also, Val from Avalon Farmcast came by to do some interviews and then join the demonstration for a while.

Here is a bit of video that I took from the afternoon:

So, it’s done. We have a new car. It’s a Prius. We did not enjoy the interaction with the dealer, but it could have been way worse. I told The Little Red Haired Girl that I’d do the talking if I could have a couple of beers before going in. I think we did ok, and I don’t have regrets. Thanks to The Photographer for all her great advice. Maybe she will come down for a visit and ride around in it with us sometime. That would be awesome. And she could bring guitar heroes or something.

Yes, we have become those kinds of pet owners. Oliver now has his own website.
