World Car Free Day! I did not notice a particular diminution in traffic this hour; although many of the "regulars" did not drive by. Early on in the hour a man stopped in the middle lane and called out the window that the sign which says "Heroes are those who refuse to go to war" is offensive to all who fought in wars to allow us stand there. He drove on before any of us could respond in a way he could hear our words. We agree that the notion that wars assure our freedom of speech is a common one tossed at us. I can't think of any war in my lifetime that did anything positive to promote my freedom (or that of anyone else). Can you?
6 for the hour with some talk of gardens and the blight that strikes monoculture forests; teaching reluctant students & a recent vacation hiking in Utah.
