3. Thanks for the great pictues ...
I am kind of laughing a bit .... we were marching in 91-degree heat out here in SoCal (San Diego, CA) - it looks like things were a bit cold up your way.

I certainly appreciate the sacrifice.

4. It was a little chilly, but not too bad, probably around 28...
...cold enough to spit a few snowflakes now and then, but the wind wasn't blowing, so it's all good. :)

6. I'll bet it was hotter at our Palm Springs demo...
I had to leave early ; family visiting from the city. It was an extrodinarily large turnout for this crowd out here- oodles of cops, since we had trouble last week. I will update

10. HeeHee.
:hi:

Well, it's fire season; tragically, those in Orange County are suffering.

They certainly are in my positive thoughts and prayers.

11. It doesn't really feel cold to me until around 0,
and even that's not too bad if the wind isn't blowing. :)

13. Snow! And you're out in it!
Bless your souls. Anything below 75 is winter to me! You guys had a nice crowd, lots of smiling faces.

I really liked the leather/bear flag. Greensboro just so isn't ready.
