Saturday brought exceptionally wet conditions for the North County Resistance. Despite the relentless rain, a dedicated group of 35 participants gathered, undeterred by the weather. Their enthusiasm and positive outlook were evident, as everyone supported one another and maintained high spirits throughout the event.
When asked to sum up the day using words beginning with the letter “W,” the responses were: WILD, WET, WINDY, WISHFUL, WILDFUL, WONDERFUL, WORRISOME, WELCOMING, WE’RE WINNING, WHOLESOME, WEEPING, and several others that were lost in the soggy conditions. The spirit of the group was clearly upbeat, with many regular attendees and at least five newcomers joining us. Thank you to everyone for showing up and persevering through the wind and rain!
Interestingly, no one used the word WACKY—which means extremely irrational or impractical, screwy, or erratic. To conclude, there’s also “weasel,” referring to a sneaky, treacherous person.
North County Resistance invites you and your Valentine to join us for our next peaceful protest on Saturday, February 14th in Nehalem, from noon to 2 PM. For everyone’s safety, we ask protesters to remain on the left side of Highway 101 in the large public parking lot, which will serve as our designated safety zone. Please ensure that access to the businesses across Highway 101 from this lot is not blocked. Thank you for your cooperation.
Again, mentioning our two organizations for food resources, Nehalem Bay Community Services, which open Monday, Friday, and Saturday (10AM-2PM), and Wednesday (1 PM-5PM). A phone number for them would be 503-368-4385.Mailing address is NBCS, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon 97131. The North County Food Bank in Wheeler is open on Tuesday.
