I saw a couple of people in Anchorage at 5th Avenue and Gamble (Ingra, maybe? I get em mixed up) that had picket signs. A native guy was on the left side by the BMW dealer. On the right side, at the intersection was a native female. Looked like she was a cab driver, because she was standing right next to a parked taxi cab and jabbering on a cell phone. The signs said something like: Honk if you want cheap gas. Or something like that.
As I was stopped at the stoplight, there was a fair amount of traffic at about 9 am. Nobody was honking. There were two signs that the people were holding and one standing up on its own. I sat there looking for more information. But it wasn't there. Just honk if you want cheap gas. And then what? Are they asking for support on something that's coming up for voters to decide on? Are they part of a group of people that are working for cheap gas? Cheap natural gas? Cheap gasoline? These two picketers certainly didn't let us, the drivers know.
Maybe there's something in the news that I didn't pay attention to, because it didn't seem worth my time. Who knows. Apparently it wasn't worth the time to all of the drivers that were surrounding me at the stoplight, either. Maybe these two people just felt good out waving their signs.
Anyway, as the light turned green and I was driving away- I honked my horn. Because I want cheap gas. Doesn't matter if it's cheap natural gas, or cheap gasoline. Good luck picketers, you're going to need it.
