Exactly! I knew once I got a new one the other would finally show itself. I was tired of looking and knew this would happen.

Our protest event went well today. It was cool, blustery, with a hint of drizzle, but we stayed for about 90 minutes. One of the friends along had surgery fairly recently and we didn't want her getting too tired before we called it an afternoon (the event was scheduled for three hours total). I've posted a few photos and short videos on various accounts. As I drove back to my house we talked about what comfort food would be good for dinner - and all concluded that tomato soup and grilled cheese were perfect. They headed home to make their soup and I made a batch here (I actually use Steve Shaw's tomato soup recipe, though I don't use a bit of fancy ham to flavor it, I just add a dollop of bacon grease when the onions are sauteing).

The poster materials I bought around the time of the inauguration were just what we needed, though I'll look for a few more ink colors and wider marker tips for future signs. They were 20"x30" and sometimes a bit tough to hold up in the wind, and we could have cut them down to half-size and still had enough space for important messages (and easier to hold onto). After the afternoon my throat is a bit sore from the cool wind and the shouting.
