devotee
On the morning of the first day of the Feast of Sant’Agata, I looked out my hotel window and saw a solitary devotee heading toward the cathedral.
It wasn’t long before the streets would be filled with people, many of them dressed in the traditional feast-day clothing like this gentleman. This moment, although I didn’t realize it then, was the only bit of quiet for a long time: the parades celebrating the Saint are loud and joyous.

live free (but purchase food)
I really can’t quite make the connection between fast-food at Sonic and living free. But the sky was pretty.

hands off
Hands off a lot of things, in addition to what she mentions on her sign.
Remember the other day when I wrote about the guy in a truck who dusted us with lots of black exhaust as he drove by? This woman gave notes on his performance – she said, “Oh, aren’t you tough?”

power to the people
…and here we are, back to my regular stuff.
I have now attended a total of three protests in my entire life, and this was the most recent one.
A guy in a giant pickup drove by, as slowly as he could, while copious amounts of thick black exhaust covered us. And a vehicle (a pickup, if you really want to know) full of white guys was stopped at the light where they took advantage of the timing to shout racist things at us.
But it was worth it to make our views and concerns seen by people who maybe didn’t realize what was – and is – happening.
