Cold fog: at least it is not raining - it would be warmer if it was.
Moon was a ghostly glow. Clock is back with accurate time and holiday carols. Through the hour - 13 people with some variations in the configurations. A delicious buttery rich cookie treat came with two vigil-ers.
A young couple in white jeep pulled up to us. The passenger, male, asked: "what does that mean?" with a gesture to "END ALL MILITARY OCCUPATIONS". The sign holder answered with a summation of the point. The following comments from the young man were confounding: "where would you be without that?" "my grandfather died for that." "can't you find anything better to do with your time?" and several more "where would we be without that?" He was in utter disbelief that there would still be a Corvallis or an Oregon or a nation we would recognize.
Later a driver in a passing car gestured with the back of his hand held toward us. We speculate as to the meaning. Is he Italian?
