27. Thanks. I'm still excited from today: there were at least 15,000 people!

According to the local 11:00 news -- and you know how tv news minimizes things like this -- this was the biggest march in our county's history. The 15,000+ were in Santa Barbara; Santa Maria (strawberries and broccoli) was credited with "thousands"; Carpinteria (flower fields) had "hundreds"; and even Isla Vista (students) next to the University had "hundreds." The news anchor reported "millions" across the country came out today.

This is so wonderful I just want to dance.
