G20- so it begins

I mentioned earlier that I would be working from home in celebration of the G20. Worst case, riots will envelop campus like the Steelers SuperBowl win, best case this is a perfect excuse to start writing my paper. Likely, this will just save me dull waits in traffic. In either case, I am starting to feel pretty thrilled with my choice- esp when the entire lab started streaming LIVE webcast of 4 Greenpeace climbers who had lowered themselves off a bridge, to bring out attention to climate change. Many arrests were made, and attempts at 2 simultaneous stunts were quashed- but the summit hasn't even started yet!

Also, 6 people were arrested today trying to get in to the secure parts (read: animal facilities) of our building. Thanks Pitt Police, for letting the rest of us work like normal!

Tomorrow, I'll likely post a couple updates on the off chance anything of interest happens. The local news is doing a nice job of covering the changes and security, and hopefully will keep me up to the minute of the rest of the excitement without having to be a first hand witness.
