  1. Weather forecast not looking the greatest. Is there any problem bringing umbrellas into the capitol?

    1. They won't let people bring in sticks (sign holders).  Umbrellas?  Unknown.  Anyone know for sure?

    2. Would the potential nasty weather affect the plans or schedule of IGOLD at all, or will everything take place no matter what the weather?

  2. IGOLD is on no matter hell or high water.

    The march?  Well, that's up to you.  My van will hold three additional passengers for those like me who refuse to march six or eight blocks in a heavy rain or thunderstorm.  I'll even drop you off at the steps of the capitol before I find a place to park.

    Order placed for non-rainy weather tomorrow afternoon.

  3. I went.

    My best guess is 350 people there.  Tiny, tiny crowd compared to pictures I saw from a few years ago.  About 20% were over 70.  Certainly half were over 50.  Saw women and kids.  That is good.

    Several people wondered where the IGOLD lady was.  Mrs. Rowe, I think.  It was my first time.  Glad I went.  Wish we would have had more minorities, young people and ladies.  Met some GSLers, including Boch.  Good people.  Glad I found you guys.
