Day 55: Peace Protestors

Every weekend, two older gentlemen with long white beards station themselves on the corner of 15th & L on the edge of Capitol Park and hold signs for peace as they wave to passing motorists and pedestrians and cyclists, accompanied by the music on their portable boom box.

I don't know who these "peace dudes" are or what their story is, and I couldn't find any picture of them with any conceivable combination of search terms on Google Images.  I always enjoyed seeing them during my long runs on Sunday mornings, and since I haven't been running as often or as far, I've missed their presence.

This evening, when we went to the R Street Market Safeway for our weekly grocery shopping after meeting Mr. R M, the new baby boy of L and M, we saw the peace dudes sitting outside the Peet's Coffee that occupies a corner of the parking lot.  Kind of nice to see some iconic Sacramento characters outside their typical context!
