Getting ready to run out with the in-laws for the afternoon.  They will be leaving tomorrow, so we will have the house all to ourselves for 3 days before our friends arrive.  Kevin - I just saw on 7 News that the police have shut down Colfax thru downtown for all the protestors to march thru the streets.  I just don&#39;t think they should be allowed to disrupt traffic and business, but it appears that is going to be the case.  Good luck this week&#33;&#33;&#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />Hi Cheryl.  Actually, shutting down streets for the protesters doesn&#39;t bother me so much.  They&#39;ve sent out traffic alerts, and drivers can use alternate routes.  I will be bothered if the protests spread to the alternate routes and cause chaos.<br /><br />Things are actually pretty quiet right now.  I see some folks gathered down the street.  They don&#39;t seem to be bothering anyone.  Only five people have been arrested so far.  We&#39;ll see how rush hour goes this afternoon.  Hopefully it will be peaceful.  My bus goes right down Broadway, past R68&#39;s &quot;base of operations&quot; -- Civic Center Park.  At 2PM tomorrow, they&#39;ve scheduled a free concert including Dead Prez, Public Enemy, and others that&#39;s &quot;expected to draw thousands&quot; according to their website.
