As best as I can make out from news reports from the region, the professional rock throwers have been given the day off so they can throw rocks on their own time. Groups of Pakistani yoots are roaming the streets, yelling "death to the United States and death to the French" in response to the showing of "blasphemous" pictures of Muhammad in those countries.
Congratulations France! Looks like you've made it to the Big Leagues.

I love hard work.
I could sit and watch it for hours.
This morning I took Luke the Wonder Dog for a long walk all the way around the nearby construction project. We sat on a park bench and watched the workers laying brick and stone, the guys up on the roof laying the clay tiles, and the lift truck drivers scurrying back and forth keeping the workers stocked with materials. It was a very well coordinated operation. They've obviously done this a time or two. I'm glad there are still people willing to work that hard.
The park across from the construction site commemorates the "Shawnee Trail", which was apparently a cattle-drive route from further south up to the rail yards and meat packers to the north.
Our park has this little stream running through it:
I found this spot to be very relaxing, no doubt just the way the Shawnee stone masons intended it. I also found this spot made me want to go to the bathroom. Luke was already empty by the time we got here, so he was fine with it.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
