Hands Off!

I stood by the side of busy Historic Route 66, raising my Hands Off Public Lands sign, and watched as a Hummer lumbered by, a hand raised with the middle finger out the open window. The crowd flashed peace signs back. The woman leaning on her walker next to me muttered "That man flipped us off. First I've seen today. What an asshole!" And the cars streamed by, horns blaring, people cheering, flags of all stripes and colors waving in the breeze. And I felt hope.




Did a double take when I saw this guy
and then asked him for a photo capture!

A passionate American veteran





Some even pulled familiar
hats out of the mothballs!

... and there's this plaintive one
that really hits home for me




There were quite a few of
these signs ... and I thought of
my mother and her memories of 1939 Germany
as a cautionary tale for 2024
