Ms. DeBlasio,
Please don’t tell me you’re going to cause a ruckus at Polly’s on Sunday! I might, in fact, be there and will be looking for you. I’ll be the elderly gent in the group of counter-protesters.
Please consider scheduling a sit in at Farmer Boy. It’s more within my budget and I can’t seem to stay upright for too long.
Regards,
a probable neighbor and life-long straw-user
Geedee, I share your deep concern about the stupidity of this protest.
Seattle is attempting to ban straws and plastic utensils — after a lifetime.
If you are at Polly’s, I will happily stand with you. There are so many more important things to protest against. Thank you for your comment.
