Apr 5

We greeted the skiers as they drove up and through town. Almost all of them honked and waved and yelled their support.

I saw TWO who "dissented". One shot us the finger. The other opened his window and yelled "faggots!" We all laughed and just waved at him.

It struck me that both were young, white men, though we had some young, white men in our group too.

All in all, it was a fun morning
