This is Reg, and Reg wants to know .....

I drove past Reggie as I went around the center square in Easton. At first I didn't give him or his sign much thought as at the moment I had more pressing matters at hand, like where was I going to have breakfast and what might be the specials on the menu that day at the local diner.

I proceeded on and pulled into the parking lot of the eatery I was going to dine at. I left my van and rushed to the door to avoid the bitter cold, it was a mear 20 degrees fahrenheit out . In that short time i spent rushing to the warmth of the restaurant I realized the this guy must be freezing his ass of, and his question must be of great importance to him to bare this weather.

I didn't bother going in, I jumped back in my van and headed back to where this guy was posing his question. I approached him asking if he minded me taking a photo or two he replied take all you wish. I introduced myself and it turns out this fellow knows my brother and we have a few mutual friends.

Strangely enough the question on his billboard never came into the conversation. But a few things I did gather from our chat was this, Reg isn't a religious zealot, nor a political anarchist , he's a regular guy and he just wants you to think and is willing not only to brave the weather but also to invest the time to give you the opportunity to do so.

I respect his determination and am posting his image so he and his question can be seen by more people that drive by him in Easton on a Saturday morning.

I'm not going to attempt to answer the question nor am I asking anyone else to, it's just one of those things we should ask ourselves.
