UP-DATE FROM MARK CREEK-WATER, Part 2...Great Climate March Protest.
if u read my first UP-DATE, then u know that i promised to tell u in this UP-DATE #2 WHAT-HAPPEN'D-TODAY-AFTER-4pm ...
the SIGNAL to act came when folks started chant-ing "OFF OF THE
SIDE-WALK AND IN-TO THE STREET !!" ... sudden-ly we were in motion:
approx 150 folks headed west-ward-ly on PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE ... "whose
streets ?? OUR streets !!" ... our destination: MONSANTO's offices ...
after several wrong turns, due to folks not actual-ly know-ing where
these offices are located, we were back in front of the WHITE HOUSE
again, then headed "up" to 13th street + I ["eye"] street, where,
evident-ly, the offices are located ...
of course, the police were follow-ing us: approx. 10 or more
police-cars, with sirens blare-ing ... very-intelligent-ly, they made no
attempt to stop us: instead, they were stop-ing traffic to allow us to
proceed on our merry way ... at several points we were march-ing
against traffic, weave-ing between the many cars who were STUCK IN
GRID-LOCK: the normal grid-lock which happens every work-day here in
the big city ...
after a while hang'n-out at MONSANTO-offices i left and walk'd to the
corner of 17th + L streets, where my favorite coffee-shop is located:
SURPRISE-SURPRISE: 2 years ago it was a CARIBOU coffee-shop: now it's
a PEET's ... what-ever ... i went in-side and bought a cup-of-coffee,
use-ing a $20-bill which a nice woman gave to me early-er today, after
she saw me dig-ing in a trash-receptacle ... "THANK YOU VERY MUCH ...
BLESS YOU" ... then i explain'd to her that i was RE-CYCLE-ING:
pull-ing re-cycle-able stuff from the trash + place-ing it in-to the
re-cycle-bin, which is, (LIKE), right next to the trash-bin ... i'm
do-ing this every time i'm in DC ... and love-ing it !!
