What a well-organized rally. About eight people parked cars in a huge lot less than a block away from the rally site. Extra signs were provided for people who didn’t bring one. Over 300 people attended. People came in costume. I would say that the ratio of drivers who approved to drivers who gave us the finger or thumbs down was about 9 to 1.
My sign said “MAGA–Make Argentina Great Again.” I only stood about half an hour before my back gave out. Luckily there was a nearby bench just behind the line where three other elderly participants and I could sit.
At 4 p.m., after the rally, we had a Democratic Party presence in the Lehighton Halloween parade. We had four women passing out candy, one woman passing out doggie treats, two guys in front carrying a banner that said Carbon County Democrats, and our driver in his 1929 Ford pickup truck. I sat on the bed of the truck and filled the candy buckets as they were emptied. My costume was a Dolly Parton wig. (I got lots of compliments, and one old near-sighted guy tried to flirt with me. At least I assume he was near-sighted.)
It was a good day.
Incidentally, our daughter said a woman in Chico may have had the best sign. It simply said, “You suck at golf.”
