The call for working and purchasing abstinence....did anything happen?
I made sure I did my part....but I haven't heard anything in terms of any mass appeal for this yet.

January 20th: DON'T GO TO WORK. AND DON'T BUY ANYTHING.

There are a plethora of protest opportunities available for Jan. 20. I earnestly urge people to do all of them (Not one damn dime, dress in black, turn your back on bush, hang your flag upside down - I'm doing all of 'em). But one of the best ways to register your dissent (and, niftily enough, one of the most "zen") is by doing...nothing.

Nothing work-related that is.

3. My wife and I walked around COSTCO at lunch...
to see what was going on...but didn't buy anything. Believe me, it was tough for her.
