Cortege-------sorta

  I completed both the Cryptogram and Cryptoquip fairly early today, and was looking out the window around 10:00 a.m. when I noticed several cars headed toward Johnsonville in close succession. I thought there must have been some obstruction down  the road that had caused the traffic to have built up. The cars continued to drive by. I noticed they had placards attached; some were decorated with balloons.  Then it came to me that I'd read about a movement on FaceBook where Hoosic Valley folks were to join a cavalcade as a  show of support to the house-bound students. There must have been 30 to 40 cars in the procession. Boredom bears its own consequences.
