Default Well, this should be interesting

There was a "practise" G-20 protest across the street from the university yesterday afternoon, about 5 minutes after I went through that intersection. Our security officers also found a barrel filled with what I was told were rocks, on campus.

A practice protest? Is that like a dress rehearsal?

No suprise on the rocks. Hopefully they will skip the school and only destroy the windows of "big business".

They occupied a gas station during their protest walk.

A GAS STATION.

Was that supposed to be symbolic? Damned if I know. It's tough to tell when the "spokesmen" aren't articulate enough to state their grievances without throwing out an FTP or F-bomb, in general, every second sentence.

Um...
I'm trying to put together a joke tying tea party protestors and G-20 protestors but I'm a little tired today and cant do it.

Therefore I will establish this post as indication that I have something to say about this matter but will do so with a series of grunts and facial expressions instead of words.

Right now, I'm devoting a great deal of time and study to that problem. And I intend to issue a position paper on that. A position that is at once simple, yet complex, flexible, and above all else, fair to every American.

So in the last couple of days we've had:

- 'practise protests'

- a market robbed that turned into a high speed chase, crash, gunfire, and a foot chase in Toronto, a few blocks from here

- an earthquake

- a tornado that tore up a town north of here

... and the G8 folks start rolling in today. For some unknown reason they've cut a couple of ramps between major highways down from 3 lanes, to one. I found myself having to merge into a line of ten Ontario Provincial Police cruisers there, this morning.

I think that I'll carry my camera around for the next couple of days, just in case. The way that things are going I might just get to shoot the first alien landing, at Toronto City Hall.

Of course. You must cater to your future masters.
