Once again, I put my sleeping bag out on top of the blanket so I didn?t use their sheets or the pillow. There had been no announcements at last night?s dinner about when we planned to leave. I went out to pack my things in the truck and discovered that it had started raining, a sprinkle not a downpour. I had everything packed up by 6:30am and went to the Retreat kitchen. There were very few looking for breakfast. I got granola and yogurt out of the kitchen truck and ate my breakfast. Ed came along later and made pancakes. I didn?t need any more breakfast. It rained intermittently. I asked JJ if he had a rider. He said ?No?. I asked if I could ride with him if it continued to rain. He said, ?Yes?. I surveyed the weather and decided that the rain had gone away. I decided to ride my bike. I got route info down on paper from someone. As I was getting ready Shira approached me and indicated we should ride together. We got Jim, one of the hosts, to instruct us on how to get to the Trail that runs from Fremont to Bellevue. Shira and I got on our bikes and rode off. It was chilly and as soon as I started to sweat I was hot and cold. The atmosphere was clear but the clouds completely blocked the sun. Shira decided to ride at my pace. We took both lanes and in 15 miles had only 2 cars to watch out for. We conversed as we rode. I discovered that we have some common interests: she makes apple cider in the fall, and she is a beekeeper. Interesting how we had a chance to share in our ?side-conversation?. When we?re busy attending to March practics those conversations aren?t appropriate. We got to Bellevue and asked how to find the library. It was on the way to the Parks and Recreation Center where we were to camp. We stopped and used the library?s computers for email, then went to the campsite. I had used Rod?s needle and thread in Elmore to fix one of the tie-downs on my bike backpack. I put the needle back in the spool of thread and when he opened the spool container, he couldn?t find the needle. Since I had time I went to a Dollar Store and bought him a package of needles. Dinner was late. There was an All-Camp meeting. The topic was ?What do you want the March to do in the last month and how should it empower us to act when it concludes?? There were many suggestions. Sean was the facilitator and will gestalt the brainstorm for us to begin work on. It will be interesting to see what the follow-up achieves. -- Peace, David -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <8D1AF0F2871EF97-5C0-20007@webmail-vm168.sysops.aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Below are brief Ferguson updates from Saturday and Sunday. Check out the link to the Powell Hall Concert demonstration. Saturday, October 4: Three Abrahamic traditions today: Christian Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Jewish Yom Kippur, and Islamic Holy Day Eid al-Adha--the day of Sacrifice at the end of the Hajj Pilgrimage. After returning from a meeting around 9:30pm, we saw on TV that there had been a "flash mob" of about 50 people who staged a demonstration in Powell Hall at the end of the evening concert's intermission just before the orchestra was to begin a Brahms Requiem. One person stood up and started singing and then others gradually joined the revised spiritual: "Which side are you on, friends? Which side are you on? Justice for Mike Brown friends, justice for us all. Three banners were hung over the rail from the balcony: a picture of Michael Brown, "Black Lives Matter" and "Requiem for Michael Brown". Paper hearts with Requiem for Michael Brown written on them were also thrown over the balcony rail. After about 5 minutes of singing, the protestors, who had paid for their tickets, left, chanting "Black lives matter." The Requiem banner was left hanging, the other two taken by the singers. Some members of the audience, orchestra. and concert choir applauded. Then, after that brief delay, the Brahms Requiem began--with perhaps a new meaning? The demonstration was musical, creative, solemn, coordinated with the requiem theme, peaceful, tasteful, interracial, and didn't interrupt music already in progress.

Seven months on the March; only one month left! Overnight was a reminder that fall is here. The overnight temperature must have gotten down into the 50?s. The morning sky was covered with clouds; no way to see the sun. I saw a sign at 10:30am that registered the temperature at 68?. Today was a 23-mile day. I did get Sarah?s directions by email but found the route directions confusing and so probably did 28 miles of riding. There was a town along the way that was Thomas Edison?s birthplace. I probably could have spent an afternoon there. I had the long-sleeved Camarillo CERT shirt on under the maroon long-sleeved knit shirt that Heidi sent me. It kept me warm but when I got to camp the CERT shirt was soaking wet with sweat. During my ride I had a brainstorm about all the things that must change if we?re to have a livable future. I came up with something the March could do: Start Dave Finnegan?s program *Climate Change Is Elementary* <climatechangeiselementary.org> across the nation?North/South/East/West. It would mean gridding the nation and training facilitators for each section. It would put an enormous burden on Dave, but it would spread the program across the nation. We are staying in a 1,300-acre preserve that was once slated to be a site of a nuclear power plant. Because it was such a long March day, and I got to camp before those Marching, Kai asked me to help get the vegetables chopped for stir fry, and set up the stoves in the amphitheater. It?s been a long time since I was asked to work in the ?kitchen?. The afternoon cools off and the sun starts to set earlier. Dinnertime went into dusk. There were a string of Christmas lights across part of the amphitheater. Someone plugged them in and JJ put up a tablet of newsprint and started a presentation on Extinction. He lectured from his Laptop computer. The amphitheater was crowded because we have had new people join us. I wasn?t able hear or see the presentation. Someone had erected the Taj Mahal tent. I put my sleeping gear in the tent and went to bed. -- Peace, David -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
