37. Just got back from a demonstration in downtown Jax. FL. It was glorious, soul feeding!

Sat Apr 5, 2025, 02:49 PM

Saturday

It was hot, but there was a little bit of shade and a nice breeze so not boiling hot. There were at least 700 people whe we left at 1pm and the crowd was growing. There were so many cool signs, just about everybody had a home made sign, and some of the people were dressed wildly too. Everyone was very friendly, we had great talks with a number of like minded folks!

Best outfit of the day, a heavy set woman wearing a huge diaper, naked legs and arms, a tiny little bonnett and a mask of his image, only with a pig snout and having a tantrum and she was carrying a rattler that she would wave while making crying or whining sounds. AWESOME~
