I was ...i only had to walk six blocks to be there. I was in line about two hours, and more hours waiting. (And I just CELEBRATED 7 decades on this earth, so my feet were not happy with me.) But, what the hey!! Just to hear that young whipper-snapper talk was worth it. (He's the age of my son.) And yes, so many people to talk to! I met a couple with child who drove from Phoenix to be there (with her aunt, from the Gallup area). <BR/><BR/>The diversity of people! A small group playing cards while they waited: a Hispanic, an African-American, an Asian, all teenagers, with a Caucasian woman. A couple with two SE Asian children. People of all kinds! <BR/><BR/>As we talked, we agreed that it was nice to have an EDUCATED person running for president. <BR/><BR/>Maybe a new era for my grandchildren and my sons. Maybe a realization that naked greed is not the best value, that all people on earth are valuable. Maybe. But we have to help, not just now, but in the years to come.Abuelita2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16023296415791704149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11712764.post-28460195238469488762008-10-26T09:40:00.000-06:002008-10-26T09:40:00.000-06:00I made many new friends last night.
