Saw one of those yellow "pray for our troops" on a gas cap in Austin
on Thursday ( a very small insignia) and was so struck by the irony of it that I wondered if it was a repuke or one of us. (Considering where I was, I am almost positive it was a RWer.) Does anyone else see the bone deep irony in this?

1. A RWer wouldn't be that clever.
They wouldn't understand the irony.

2. Hi, hon, I was at a right wing church meeting my daughter (with the
Texas Dem.) sticker on her car. We were both astonished at this bit of poetic truth on a gas cap.

3. Even if you drew the owner a picture, they wouldn't get it.
How are things tonight? How was the rain out there?

4. Driving in from Houston and talking to one of the daughters in Austin
and remarking on the lightening I can see in the west and she is coming home from church and can see nothing. I get into some heavy rain before I get home and then get a call from her and I can HEAR the hail hitting the windows at her house. The storm was gone from here but she was calling to see if I got home okay. How about you?

5. Look at my pile of hail!


Lots of wind, hail, rain...blew through in a hurry though.

7. We didn't march, but just went to city hall.
We were on the left side of the seating area about 2 or 3 rows up. The snake was nice. Lots of good signage, too. I like Jensen's speech.

8. William and I sat in the front and then I moved him because I was afraid
of the sun. Sorry, I missed you all.

I like the setup at city hall. That was a very good protest.
