Sadly we had to part ways with our beloved biodiesel bus Rosa for the last legs of the tour due to a prior reservation. Even sadder was the fact that Raed was called to DC to work with some congressional members. On the upside Zack Choate, Phil Aliff, and Doug Ament decided to join us for the rest of the tour!
We were impressed by the turnout in Athens! It was such a beautiful Friday afternoon and we still had a pretty packed auditorium at UGA. Zack, Jason, and Phil all gave great talks and this audience asked some of the most thoughtful questions we heard on the whole tour!!
When we were packing up we noticed an ROTC van next to ours. We decided to donate a few, “Cost of War” bumper stickers to their bumper. I’m sure they will thank us later.
Saturday morning before we left we decided to get some coffee at the Red Eye, after hearing that the owner was an injured Iraq war veteran. The coffee is amazing there! It’s rare that coffee shops brew by the cup, but Red Eye does!!
While we were on the road to Augusta we heard a POW and the passenger side window exploded!! My first thought was that someone shot at us! It was a pretty big scare! I ended up speeding to the nearest parking lot that was full of people. We didn’t find a bullet, rock, pellet, and anything else. Who knows what it was? It was a blessing that no one happened to be sitting in the front seat at that moment!
