I'd like to remind all and sundry that I live in Bloomington, Indiana. We have a nice 15,000-person mob (I estimate) on Kirkwood Avenue this evening (I still hear the news helicopters, although the many sirens and most of the car horns seem to have died down.) I went down there at maybe 8:30. Not much nudity yet, sad to say, and no property damage either. Too boring to stick around, so I came home.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens if IU actually takes the championship... I happen to do T'ai Chi with the Chief of Police and he had some entertaining tales to recount of past mayhem. I'm looking forward to it. Curse or no, I *like* living in interesting times.

Not as interesting as Israel and Palestine, though. That's a little too real for me.
