I did say that the weather would be seasonal.... that, unfortunately, does not mean the 60's like it has been, but cold, sunny weather is nice here in NY.<BR><BR>Here's the forecast from Wunderground:<BR><BR>Friday<BR>Light rain or drizzle likely early in the morning along with some fog...then remaining cloudy with showers becoming likely in the afternoon...possibly a thunderstorm.

So far, so good. <BR><BR>Hey Robert, you weren't buying food from that felafel guy on the corner of Mad & 55, were you?

actually I never go to those trucks but why do you mention?

actually I only know about the fruit guy closer to you and he is great.

There is a lot going on I think. There are police all over just in case. It is unlikely you'll get caught in a melee and hurt; it is very likely that you will get delayed or detoured.<BR><BR> I'd make plans that allowed me to walk or take the subway, I'd have zero dependence on taxis if I were you, this kind of stuff just jams up traffic. <BR><BR> This am for 1st time in my life my (very lazy person's) 8 block cab ride to work had to take a detour because Union Square was blocked off. <BR><BR> I think the protestors must be in a bit of a bind because this year causing trouble to NY's uniformed personnel is, like, not cool at all.

Last night on the local news in NYC,they said that<BR> "In Seattle,the police dept has 3,000 officers.In NYC,there are 4,000 officers at the WEF alone..so that should give you an idea of how safe the city should be.

I was just out at lunch saw some protesters marching behind a small band. They looked harmless and there are so many police officers per city block nothing is going down. I also think who would attact this city after what we have been through. <BR><BR>Last attacks were led by disaffected youth not life long activist in march.

I had a meeting midtown today (Mad @ 40th) and then walked up to Rock Center for lunch. Nothing unusual anywhere, except more NYPD than usual. <BR><BR>I did see a hilarious guy with an anti-protest sign. It read: "Get a life and a job, you losers!!" <BR><BR>So true, so true. <BR><BR>
