Scratching Post

Okay, so I get that the convention is being held in St. Paul, the "twin" of our city. Kinda hard to miss what with the news listing how the majority of the city is blocked off and all that. Do each one of the extra-special VIPs really need a separate helicopter ride over to the bridge? You know, the one that's gone, torn down, and now a new, nearly completed one, stands in its place? The one that somehow involves a flight over our house to get to?*

Seriously, damn near every fricken hour on the half-hour with a break for lunch.

* Before you go thinking I'm all uncaring about the victims and the disaster and whatnot, see the posts from about a year ago - I really, truly, am not.
