They are charging $40 round trip.  Plus there is a $5 fee to park 
one's car at the Teachers union where the buses are loading people. 
That is still in inaccessible building too.

Yea, if I had started this yesterday afternoon but it is 10:30 am Sat 
now and I am listening to the Washington march rally on KPFK.

My cat Buster died earlier this week, so I've been thrown out of my 
usual getting ahead of the curve on this bus trip thing.  I miss his 
little kitty body (well should say big, he weighed 24 pounds), his 
blanket not being occupied by my bed, him not being here to greet me 
when I come home.  I had him for 12 years.  So this was no week to 
have to do battle with ANSWER.

Thanks for the ideas, they are right on. I bet this will not be the 
end of the protests so opportunities, no doubt will arise in the 
future.

later,
Marta
