Throw on a heavy sweater and have fun!

So far, so good.

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.

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.

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.

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
"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.

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.

I did see a hilarious guy with an anti-protest sign. It read: "Get a life and a job, you losers!!"

So true, so true.
