What the Viz?

6:55 a.m.
Waiting at the corner of Westchester Pike and State Route 320 to give signs to the volunteers who will be doing a “viz” shift this morning. Visibility. People standing on the street corner waving signs and being excited about Hillary Clinton during the morning rush hour. It’s a gorgeous morning in Pennsylvania. It’s supposed to be in the low 80s today and that makes for a lovely sunrise and early morning.

7:25 a.m.
The viz volunteers didn’t show this morning. But I learned a lot about standing on a street corner alone waving a sign for a mere 20 minutes.
• Some people are pathetic enough to swear at you and flip you off and yell things such as “Hillary Sucks,” “Boo” and other things I shouldn’t repeat because children might read this blog. Seriously. I was standing on the street corner all by myself and people were saying mean things. They must really have a chip on their shoulders.
• Most people are friendly and wave or honk.
• From now on, I’ll honk when I drive past people campaigning for something I believe in. Those honks and waves were encouraging and made me smile and wave.
• NEVER pick your nose at a stop light. COME ON PEOPLE!! Your car has windows that go both ways!
• When you sign up to be somewhere, BE THERE!!

(The guy who took this picture took picture took pity on me. He seemed a bit smug when I asked him to take the picture. Then when I asked if he planned to vote for Hillary in the primary on Tuesday, he said "No way! I'm a Republican!" Ah, well. It's all character building, right?)
