Day 191 (bonus post): Rain and wind were not enough to deter thousands of people from turning out for the March for Science in Seattle today. The day started out dry, but once the speakers had finished and we actually started marching along the route, rain fell steadily for about half an hour. Gusty wind had it difficult to keep signs aloft. Fortunately, I'd had the foresight to wrap mine in plastic. I had met up with several people from the Morris dance group and marched with them from Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill to Seattle Center. I believe we were near the middle of the group which must have extended at least three-quarters of a mile on either side of us. I've heard one rough estimate of 24,000 attendees, the stalwart Pacific Northwesterners who won't let a little rain stop them!
