Just got back a few hours ago. There was so much going on in
CW and so many people I don't even know where to start, so
I'll begin with our last day there :-)
We stopped by the Holiday Inn to say bye. Some people had
already left and some were still in bed (which is where I
should have been!!). Four critics were at the table eating
breakfast, I'll let them identify themselves if they wish.
Garry and I had already finished eating breakfast at Lenny's,
so we went out to head for downtown CW. (I was able to leave
Tilman with a great big smack-a-roo on the cheek <g>).
I don't think Co$ was expecting anyone downtown yet. We got
there and drove by in the car to see what was going on and
where.
Instantly OSA spotted us and started talking into their radios.
I am very glad for one thing. Across from the Ft. Harrison
they had the EPF kids (teens, not little children) breaking up
the cement pieces and piling a bunch of other stuff I wasn't
able to discern. It was hotter that ususal in CW this year
and doing hard labor isn't the most fun way for these guys to
spend a Sunday morning.
We had used up all of our film, but we pretended to start taking
pictures of the kids working as we drove by in the car. Their
keepers (or whatever you call them) quickly rounded them up and
put them in single file to run across the street into the Ft.
Harrison to hide. We drove by the front of the building and then
pretended to take more pics of them being herded in. By the time
we swung around the side and parked and got our stuff together,
the place across the street from the Ft. Harrison where they were
working, as well as the rest of the streets around the area and
the front of the Ft. Harrison were deserted!!
It was like waving a magic wand, POOF!, they disappear other than
OSA and the guys on the roof with the telephoto lenses. Just from
the presence of two SP's. At least the kids got some time off to
be in the air conditioning. Garry and I left a bit after 1 PM, so
I have no idea if they were sent back out to work or not, but I do
believe that some of the others said they were going to go back in
town to do a bit of picketing. I hope so, that way they would be
able to have the whole day off :-)
Even walking around without signs, just pretending to take
pictures and talking into make believe radios was enough to
even keep the buses and vans away!!
We didn't bring our picket signs with us. We did go to observe
and watch reactions.
Just like when we had the picket signs in our hands the other
days, if a van was coming down the street towards us as soon
as they saw us they would turn the corner. If it was too late
it was speed up and get past.
Garry played a little game while we were there, but since it was
his game and he also has more flair for details. I'll let him
tell you about it, but it most ~surely~ put OSA in even more
paranoia than I had seen them so far.
Also, I have simply GOT to thank the CWPD for their excellent
and unbiased presence. As a matter of fact, I'll put that in
it's own thread.
