September
7 of the Peace Journey, we walked 17.5 miles over 3 sessions, walking into
Waitsburg & out, on to Highway 12, then veering off onto the Middle
Waitsburg Rd, which took us into Walla Walla, and then downtown.
We visited Hot
Poop, a music store, where the owner shared his concern for the safety of his
friends who work at WSP. If there were no Death Penalty, he felt corrections
officers would be less safe. We discussed that perspective further, exploring
the realities and the idea of more money for staff if we saved money by ending
the Death Penalty, etc. A customer needed his attention, and we left with the
owner saying he needed to look into the Death Penalty further.
That evening we were welcomed into Jim and Janet Robles' home--and
treated to showers, home cooked food and cold drinks, and slept indoors. Not to
mention great conversations...ahh, it was heaven sent!!
