Black Helicopters - UPDATE

One of our delegation just got a text that the Pepsi Center has been
rushed by protesters and there is a security lock down. Now I'm
hearing it's a peaceful antiwar protest. Rumors sure travel fast here.



UPDATE -- shortly after this post I left the Pepsi Center to head back to the hotel and find the protest. It must have broken up by the time I made my way out of the Center. From news reports, it sounds like the rumors of a "riot" were greatly exaggerated.

As I wandered through downtown heading for the train station, I did encounter a Critical Mass event. I was impressed with the age, gender and race diversity of the riders. It also seemed as if they picked up a random drunk guy on a bike. He had a Bud Tall Boy in his water bottle holder and he was screaming expletives at the police in the area. Made me giggle. Can you get a DWI on a bike?

Yes, you can! It's biking/cycling under the influence. I had plenty of friends in college who got busted for it! It's a pretty hefty fine, too.

Written In March
(1)

The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing,

The small birds twitter,

The lake doth glitter,
The green fields sleep in the sun;
The oldest and youngest

Are at work with the strongest;

The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;

There are forty feeding like one!
(2)

Like an army defeated

The snow hath retreated,

And now doth fare ill

On the top of the bare hill;
The ploughboy is whooping--anon--anon
There's joy in the mountains;
There's life in the fountains,
Small clouds are sailing,

Blue sky prevailing,
The rain is over and gone.
