Have any of the protesters who were kidnapped spoken publicly/been on the news?

Because I don't personally know of any, I'm starting to develop some wacky theories like 'they're all still being held' and 'maybe they're actually all plants' ...

But the one theory I have that really ISN'T paranoid?

Forcing the people to sign NDA's as a condition of release.

Full of language like 'National Security' and 'Felony', etc.

That would be very par for the course, wouldn't it?

Holy Crap - Newport Folk Festival streaming show ... I might have to buy a ticket ...

Yeah, it's not free, haven't checked the cost. Tell ya there better be a more high-fidelity to watch it than Youtube though, not paying for compressed garbage sound.

Anyways, SO MANY PEOPLE I love in the lineup for Friday and Saturday. Jason! Mavis! Sharon! Phoebe! Brandi! Leon! Ben! Grace! Lucius! M. Ward!

This would be the first time I've paid for an online concert but this one, esp. Friday ... too good man.

Just came back from Lowe's in Red City, Arizona ...

Another name I have for it is 'Provo South' ... I have 3 LDS churches within a mile of my house. You get the idea.

Anyways, BIG change from the last time I was out at Safeway earlier in the week, about a block south of Lowe's. That time, there was almost nobody in masks. Today ... totally different story. Easily more people than not wearing them.

People are getting the memo about the exploding case count in this state, and many are taking it somewhat seriously it would appear.

Since there seems to be some Yosemite fans in the group ...

Snapped this about 5 minutes earlier than the Half Dome shot on the river I put in t'other thread ...

I wish there was some way via photo to really give the viewer a sense of SCALE when it comes to the stuff in the Valley.

When you're actually there, looking up ... it's friggin HUGE. It's 3000 feet tall. 2.5 x as tall as the Empire State Building.

Everyone needs to make a pilgrimage at least once in their lives. For reals ... you have to go.

100 internets to the first person who can identify what this is a picture of ...

Edit: it's been figured out by a combination of people.

See post 8 for another shot I took of the same monument from a different spot in the Park ... hope you like
