run to work

Easy 5.1 miles to work, 47:44. Included a few minutes talking with the folks at the Occupy Colorado Springs protest down at Acacia Park. They were supposed to be arrested last night for violating the city camping ordinance, but the fuzz never showed. I don't know what the hell is up with the whole Occupy Wall Street thing, and most of the Springs protesters don't either, but they're friendly enough. Tough situation for the Springs cops, so I fully expect them to fuck it up in as bad a way as possible.

Can someone explain Occupy Wall Street in 100 words or less? I haven't been watching much news lately.

CSPD can't even measure 3.1 miles... they probably headed off to NYC to arrest the protesters not realizing that the protesters were actually local... which means it's probably going to cost US money now...

They need the brain power of you and your legion of idiots.I am surprised they don't call you daily to help sort out the crime in the city!

Occupy Wall Street is where people camp out and incorrectly blame Wall Street for the recession and every other problem with the economy, won't let them have any say in government, but are still happy to grab their money.

Oops, I broke my rule about not talking politics in comment sections. My bad.
