Today we spent a couple of hours as sign wavers along El Toro Rd and Jeronimo. Doing this makes for very interesting and mostly pleasurable experiences. There are a lot of supporters, along with an occasional abrupt gesture, but being with other Saints makes it pretty easy to do.
Most of all it helps us do something worthwhile - a lot like working in the local food pantry - rather than sitting at home, watching and waiting for the upcoming election.
We may not be running marathons like Andrea, but it is good, healthy exercise and as I mentioned before, the company is great!!
Sure hope you are enjoying your week as well!

Was it just LDS people, mostly LDS people or were there others? How many people would you say came out to support?
Quite a few people, maybe 30 or so this afternoon. I know of a couple of non members, but I have no idea how many actually.
We are asked to get at least 100 members of each ward out there by the end of the week and hopefully more.
This has been quite an interesting assignment with many supporters and our share of "thumbs downers" as well as a few other hand signals deemed unmentionable here.
I missed all the sign waving opportunities in our town! Either we got home too late from work, or I was out of town. On one night our stake lined up on the three major streets of our town and I heard that there were 350-450 people on each street!
The down-side... our church building was egged last night, as was one (that I know of) of our ward member's houses.
