Lots happening with the traveling bookstore. Fortunately a Portland friend came to visit. We experienced the Maryland Center for History and Culture, and American Visionary Art museum. Protested with a Wednesday group. Made turmeric anthotypes. Photo of part of that process.

Back in Baltimore after nearly two months, 8,800 miles on the road transversing the US with the traveling bookstore. Quite the experience - encouraged to meet so many readers, see so many demonstrations in small towns and cities, and be welcomed in different communities.

Hard to know best way to go thru day after reading morning news. So much wrong happening in this country from the jerks at the top. I have a traveling bookstore and talk with people, urge them to get out/speak up. I carry good books, demonstrate, write Congress staff and hope it helps.

Yeah! Saturday February 1 and the sun is out (sort of) and the traveling bookstore is setting up at Dangerously Delicious Pies in Hampden from 11 -6. Could we ask for anything better? Yes - because we'll be selling writing ink made from guns, crafted by the incredible Thomas Little @a.rural.pen.
