Michael Hausen of Lewiston waves to passing motorists Wednesday afternoon on Main Street in Lewiston. “I just want to use my freedom of speech while I still have it,” he said, referring to the situation in Syria. “It seems like a tense time, and I wanted to give people a reason to smile.” (Lewiston Tribune photo: Steve Hanks)
