Occupy Seattle just marched past my house! "Who's street? OUR street!"
Big ol' traffic jam, small but mighty crowd, bunch of police escorting them. Made me choke up.

4. I didn't but I hooted and hollered off my balcony and asked if they needed anything.
Guess I could have turned off dinner and gone but I didn't. Doesn't mean I'm not proud of them, and I told them so.

5. I know. I've been to the camp down the street but haven't marched.
Good people.

6. Bridges blocked?
The guy eating dinner next to me said that both bridges are blocked and UW is jam packed.

He was annoyed at the driving delay but seemed pretty excited, too.

It's amazing and shutting down NYSE (or at least attempting it) is truly audacious and original.
