Quack, quack...
My friend, SPEEA ExecDir Charlie Bofferding, was joking with me just about all afternoon about how I looked like a mama duck today, leading (at our peak) a few dozens of our coworkers, in a casual "Picket Practice" stroll in front of Mr. Turner's office, during our lunchtime session today.
I got to lead the pack and chose a path that just happened to include the Oliver crosswalk at the Plant 2 Admin entrance.
As there’s no traffic control there, and as Kansas Law seems to give pedestrians pretty much unlimited Right Of Way, this meant that,for several orbits, we were able to block far more cars than we had picketers, merely by "working to rule," well within traffic law.
(Man... imagine the fun we’ll have if we can get a few HUNDRED to show up for our next practice session!...)
-- Bill, who’d bet we get cross-walk signals on Oliver and MacArthur real soon...
