Monday, 21 November

Warmer & wet - 6 to enjoy the cookies - which are a Monday tradition.  The illuminated snowflakes are up on the light posts.  Winter holiday decorations festoon the courthouse - soon the lights will be lit and the cheer will spill over the sidewalk.  We spoke of fantastical devices to facilitate holding a sign and an umbrella and responding to waving people.  And, how about an umbrella engineered to scoop in the sound so conversation can be unhampered.  Maybe lights for the signs.  More seriously, we marveled at the bravery of the Egyptian protestors.
