Several folks stopped to ask for pictures, or if they could buy me something to eat or drink. One of these folks showed me his US Navy tattoo and said thank you to me for being out there. We chatted a few minutes and held the sign up, I was very glad to meet him.
Some drove by extending their middle fingers telling me I'm #1, and a few shouted insults.
One very heavy black woman stopped to yell "what's libya you punk ass ...." (I cannot repeat the rest.) I laughed at her, that was all I could do.
I get far more honks and thumbs-ups than anything else, shocking here in Illinois.
The folks who've given me the finger are typically black, some latino and much to my surprise, elderly white men. (I guess they're afraid of losing their social security?)
Anyway, there's a quick update, I'm mounting the sign on a 7' tall 2x4 and going back out. Taking my iPad and a hotspot with me, maybe I'll post an update in a bit.
One last thing: I haven't read all the messages on this thread, I was happy to come back and see replies, I'll respond more later.
