You know, remembering back to anti-war and civil rights marches back in the day, I thought I was fairly good at estimating crowd sizes, but I was off by half. Thinking there were 1500 people at the rally, I texted that number to a friend in California. Later that evening, the local NPR station said over 3,000 were there. (But I’m a word guy, not a number guy.)
Remember: Power to the many-fingered people! That’s one big, angry fist.
