MoCo Honk Report (Mon am): 21 mins, 281 honks, 5 VHCs (Virtuous Honk Circles), 12 VHCs (Very Honky Cars), 1 VHB (Very Honky Bicycle), 3 VSPs (Very Supportive Pedestrians), and 1 PWGMTMF (Pedestrian Who Gave Me The Middle Finger.) Also, 1 pedestrian requesting to take a photo of me.
Also a lot of support from the pedestrians, including one who took her airpods out to tell me thanks and that she’s seen me many times before. And another one walking her dog who took a photo of me and just said, “Good morning!” with a big smile on her face.
MoCo Honk Report (Tues AM): 15 mins, 291 honks, 3 VHCs (Virtuous Honk Circles), 7 VHCs (Very Honky Cars), and 1 VHCCT (Very Honky Coca-Cola Truck)!
MoCo Honk Report (Mon am): 17 mins, 172 honks, 1 VHC (Virtuous Honk Circle) & 5 VHCs (Very Honky Cars.)
Also, a very nice moment when a woman, just emerging from her apartment building onto the sidewalk with her dog, went into enthusiastic pantomime honking the instant she stepped outside and saw the sign. :-)
Also, one burly bald guy with a big beard sitting in a parked van asked me in a mildly threatening way, “You wanna fight him? You wanna fight him?” I didn’t respond as I felt my sign (“Honk to Fight Trump”) already made my position clear.

An elderly lady was walking towards her car in a parking lot seemingly uninterested in my approaching sign. But as I passed by, she was stood by the open car door, looked at me, and started honking. :-)
Though hopefully also increased societal frustration with the Administration’s needlessly harmful, aggressive, and corrupt policies and approach to everything. The best honk, by the way, was the first one.
MoCo Honk Report (Wed AM): 19 mins, 268 honks, 3 VHCs. This is the most honks I’ve ever gotten during a morning. I think it’s the new and improved sign.
Plus my back doesn’t hurt afterwards. :-) (FYI, the new sign still says the same thing: “Honk to Fight Trump!”) Happy MLK Day!
In addition to being able to lift the sign higher bc it’s cardboard instead of the large dry erase board I’ve been using, the lettering is brighter and more inviting, and it’s double-sided, all of which made a big impact in visibility and response today.
Special thanks to my super artist/resistance leader friends Julie Peppito (for her suggestion on making a bigger, better sign with cardboard and white paint) and gideon kendall (who stopped through town this weekend and did fantastic lettering on my new, improved, bigger, better, sign.)
MoCo Honk Report (Mon PM): 26 mins, *665* honks, 8 VHCs, 1 supportive Cybertruck, several supportive packs of teenagers, and one guy who said, “Thank you Steven!” out his window which means he knows me, but I have no idea who it was.
Special props to my neighbor for her vociferous honking when she passed me. Not bad for a cold and windy day that froze my fingers through my gloves. :-)
MoCo Honk Report (Thursday AM): 17 mins, 157 honks, 1 middle finger (from the same guy in the brown Buick), and one pedestrian in a Snap-On Tools jacket and an American flag arm patch who said, “You’re a good man.”
MoCo Honk Report (Wed AM): 17 mins, 250 honks, 3 VHCs, including 2 LLOs (loud long ones) from a Home Depot truck, plus a fist bump of encouragement from a pedestrian.
