Another Day, Another Protest
Weird day. Much to say about it! Here are some pix.
I was glad to see my regular parking spot was available, considering all the hoopla!
View from my office of the plaza where the torch was supposed to end up.
Crowd at the ferry terminal clock tower.
Close-up of protesters. They don't look that scary!
Yeah, I did get to see the torch. On streaming video.
ps--I did tell you all about the cats right? They're still here . . .

torch song tragedy
It's so weird (but cool) to have my commute to work directly affected by the Freedom Torch and the Olympic Torch.
Today I couldn't cut through Civic Center plaza like I usually do because of the
Freedom Torch. A small price to pay for freedom.
Tomorrow we are being advised to work at home because the Olympic Torch (and any incidental protests) are scheduled to get their 15 minutes of Pacific Coast fame mere yards from my office.
Oh yeah. I'm really going to work from home then!

Nice Pictures by the way. Maybe I missed the post about the cats. One of them kinda reminds me of my sister's cat a little bit and the black and white one looks a bit like (e:theecarey)'s cat a little bit.
Second... the politics surrounding the olympics this year is at least as entertaining as watching our own government's presidential race. Well, at least to me.
