I was sitting here this morning drinking my usual 4 cups of coffee when I heard a disturbance in the street outside my apartment–lots of squabbling, arguing and raised voices, but I couldn’t see what was going on, since it was happening on my side of the street and I can’t see directly below the apartment out of my window. Folks on the other side of the street were staring intently toward my side of the street at whatever was happening. I went back to reading email, but the level of noise picked up. I went to the window and saw that the National Police had arrived with a paddy wagon. They “escorted” two people into the back of the van; one was a man in handcuffs, probably in his mid-20s and the other looked to be an older lady, not cuffed, wearing a shawl, so I didn’t get a good look at her. I don’t know what they were doing to cause them to get arrested, but it was an interesting highlight of the morning. Now excuse me while I finish with my caffeine fix.
