It was a warm and pleasant day, in the mid 60s and sunny. We walked the line from a little before noon until about 2:15. We got exceptionally good responses today, with 60-70% approvals and perhaps 30 percent of that, honks and beeps... everyone must be in the holiday spirit. It’s interesting how agreeable people are when they are about to spend a lot of money, but I digress...;-)~ We also met Kate and her family from the Cincinnati Occupation, who were in town visiting family for the holidays. They participated with us for awhile as we talked and compared notes about the divisions within their movement and the ones in ours. They have a strong group of anarchists, who would rather tear down than modify, but who are going along with the Consensus of the rest, as far as strategy and campaigns go. They no longer have an encampment either, but are involved in multiple campaigns and mobilizations. They also have at least fifty picketing and carrying signs around the clock.

A couple from New York, in to see family for the holidays, and their mother, also stopped by to talk with us and took some pictures. They’ve been down to the Wall Street site too. They were excited to see our little “Occupy” here in Ashland.
