Down the Coast

Saw the above next to the 101 around Ventura and, though none too eloquent, it did get its message across.






One of a number of trees lining the 101 south of Atascadero. Sign as placed is only visible to northbound traffic who'll have to drive for miles in order to reach it. Outside of Santa Maria I noticed one of my signs using the same dynamic still up on the back of a highway sign... It's been up for over four months now.




Top of Cuesta Pass - a favorite spot. Signs attach to wires in seconds using binderclips and duct-tape.

If the news that our two missing soldiers had been found tortured to death was disturbing for you, imagine how it must feel to our troops serving in Iraq. Hard to believe, but their job just got that much worse.


Remember that out of all the architects and planners of this war, only one, Rumsfeld, ever served in the military, and that was in a non-combat role. The rest of them: Bush, Cheney, Rove, Wolfowitz, Perle, etc. not only did not serve, but actively avoided doing so. This war has become a test of whether the best and bravest soldiers can survive a leadership of cowards.


These are the last signs I'll be hanging in the Bay Area for awhile. It's time to hit the road.

"Just a Number"

"Yesterday we had a moment of silence in the Senate because we thought it was a solemn occasion when our 2,500th soldier was killed in Iraq. We held a moment of silence. When the White House's press secretary was asked to step forward, the President's Press Secretary Tony Snow, they asked him about 2,500, he said "It's just a number." Just a number? I mean, that is outrageous. I went to Memorial Day services in Boulder City, our veterans' facility. I went and visited the grave of John Lukac with his mom and his dad. He'd been killed in Iraq. He was 19 years old. He's just a number? In Nevada we've lost 39. We've lost 2,500 nationwide, and we've had about 20,000 wounded, half of them permanently wounded. Just numbers? I don't think so." -Harry Reid

Congratulations!

You're our 100,000th visitor!
