Snow Days vs. Mob Days

Throughout the winter I've been watching the weather feeling very jealous at all those snow days. We of course don't have any snow days here. But we do have......Mob Days!

The protesters are at it again. This time it's the infamous "Red Shirts". They're demanding the parliament dissolve, the prime minister step down and have new elections. Of course that won't happen. So the read shirts are storming the town.

It's been going on since Friday. Each day we're hoping for a "Mob Day". Haven't had one yet but we did get released early Friday. On Sunday we saw them marching by on the main road. Nothing dangerous just holding up traffic. Not sure if the mob day will happen, but it's much more likely than a snow day. Gotta have some kinda hope!

Thanks for touching base about this . . I have been reading what has been going on in the news, and of course always have concern for you - never know if they are sensationalizing a bit or if things are seriously scary . . .

I did hear though about the pouring of the blood at the Government house. Symbolic I know--but definitely not like protests in the USA. It was interesting to me that it was after an agreement with the "guards" that they poured the blood. All very peaceful it seems.
