Three of us held the line again at the Ajo gate of the Tucson VA for the morning shift change. There were also about a dozen protestors ouside the 6th Ave. gate.

But for a few pale cloud-smudges on the southern horizon, the sky was pristine, and the rising sun was bright. No redshift on cloud banks today, just intense whitehot light in our eyes, blinding anyone who needed to travel easterly…

We had, to the best of my reckoning, about the same response percentage as last week, between 75% and 85%. We had 3 definite negatives this time, that I saw anyway,.. ‘flying, bouncing birds’…; -)~ Just shook my head, laughing.

Talk about cognitive dissonance…
