Lea - Couple of Photos from Denver

Hey folks.  I just want to share a couple photos with you.  The first taken outside of a popular local restaurant and the second of a Northern Colorado protester I spotted at an event held by The Nation Magazine.

I will definitely be adding more as we go from place to place.  I am officially convinced that we need 28 hours to the day -- give or take.   Lea
