From the streets of Madison

Stan's sister, Linda, and her husband, Ron, stopped at Madison, Wisconsin, today on their way to see the grandkids in Washington D.C. Here is Linda's report and photo via iPhone: (How does she do that?)

Madison was popping today, drums providing rhythm to chants thrown up to the governor's office. There were maybe five Republicans to thousands of us. Lots of good humor, lots of variety in people gathered. 
This is not a gathering of "slobs" as someone inelegantly described the demonstrators last week. My bet is that this good-humored group is not quitting soon, and I think there will be a big bump in recall workers. 

Ron and I had our senior moment. We walked for miles looking for our car. We will be supporting Madison with a $2O parking ticket for being 15 minutes late. Guess they need the revenue, we will consider it our donation to a city that gave us good company today.

Love, 
Linda
