This Land is Your Land featuring Pete Seeger

Last Friday, on four hour notice, Trudy and I decided to drive the 3 hours and see the "This Land is Your Land" event featuring the 90 year old activist and musician Pete Seeger. Here he is pictured with his grandson: Tao Rodríguez-Seeger. I have to admit tears were streaming down my face when he played "Turn, Turn, Turn".

Teresa (Green Bag Lady) told me her son wants to be a dinosaur when he grows up and her youngest daughter wants to be a butterfly. So, on reflection I thought: Well, then I want to be Pete Seeger when I grow up.

For the first time in 8 years of living and hiking on the northern coast of California I saw a pool of newts, swimming, mating, and literally just hangin' out.
