Ann Wright in Asheville

This photo is of Jim Brown and Ann Wright in the Asheville airport. They are holding the National Threat Advisory from TSA. We are at Code Orange - have been forever. What a load of bs the TSA puts out.

It was great having Ann Wright here. We had about 8 people to meet her at the airport, and then we went to Rosetta's Kitchen for snacks and beer and talking. Well, I was driving, so no beer for me.

The next morning, Ann Wright went to the spiritual enrichment session of the Asheville Friends Meeting. It was not well attended, but it was an interesting discussion. Jim and Clare went there also. After that we went to WPVM for a interview session of Veteran's Voices.

Then Ann had a meet and greet at Malaprop's - again, not that well attended. I wish they had scheduled her for a reading, but.....

Then we went to eat at Havana's Resturant...... good Cubian food. After that, Ann did a reading and talk at Firestorm Cafe & Books. That was pretty well attended, with about 40 people there. And then we went out to eat again....

It was wonderful having Ann with me at my home. She is quite the diplomat.

Thanks to Asheville Friends Meeting, Firestorm Cafe & Books, and the Vets for Peace for supporting this effort. Ann will be in North Carolina the rest of this week, and I hope it is a successful week for her. It was good to hear her stories of people who have sacrificed to try and end this insane violent path this country is following.
