I had promised Nuke a long hike on Saturday so although it was pouring down rain and chilly, I dressed for the weather and took him out anyway. We ended up walking all over town for three hours and ultimately climbing up to the M on Mount Sentinel.
We have a local contingent of “Occupy…” protestors. I am not sure what they’re trying to do – we don’t have any big corporations here. But they’re camped out on the courthouse lawn.
Anyhow, when we took off on our hike i noticed folks had gone up to the M and made it say “MT 99%”:
And that’s how I ended up making this macro. 🙂
It still makes me laugh!
And here’s Nuke up above the cloudline on the mountain.
Stacy, absolutely hilarious… I love it…
And I love Nuke’s pictures… another regal A-T shepherd.
And thanks for the education. As I have never heard of the M in Mount Sentinel, I googled it this morning & learned something new. The place looks absolutely beautiful… unfortunately, we only have hills in Florida, not mountains.
So funny! Love your sign. Nuke looks great in all weather.
hilarious!
I love your updates Stacy! Love the sign, I should print it and put it on my window. LOL
Stacy…here are a bunch of questions for you. Is Montana a agricultural state? Are there a lot of genetically modified crops growing out there in MT? Isn’t this just the sort of thing Montanans do is protest against government given whatever reason? What exactly are they talking about 99% vs 1%? That poster is so professional looking are you sure you are not also a graphic designer in your other life?
That “M” on the mountain looks like it was put there by some University of Michigan fan.
As always LOVE your photography!
It seems the majority of “occupy” protesters here don’t even have a job and really don’t know what they’re even protesting. It’s actually pretty funny to listen to them being interviewed. One idiot said that the wall street “fat cats” are more dangerous than Al Qaeda. Julie…the 1% represents the wealthiest folks in America and the protesters think that they should give half of their $$ to the other 99%. Not going to give my opinion on that, but I’m sure you can guess what it is 😉
Maybe I should listen to the news more often?
I don’t really understand it either. I just want to occupy my sofa.
Thanks for trying to make me feel better Jennie. Now that I know what it means I think Stacy’s poster is incredibly clever.
By the way…Nuke is such a studly lookin’ guy!
Thanks for the laugh. Such a creative picture! I love it.
I want to know if you are going to tack your poster up around town?!?!
I really enjoy your stories in pictures. Thanks for the education and also eye candy in Nuke!
Love the pics! Keep em comin! Nuke look so royal sitting there in your poster!
I’m surprised the protesters know about genetically modified organisms (GMO’s or GM) in some foods! I bet they’d be surprised to find out it might be in their dog’s food too! Wonder if they would “Bow-Wow” about that!:-)
