Coincidence?

Of the two places in the entire WORLD I could be right now, two rather dissimilar and yet, right now, very similar locations are Beijing and Pittsburgh.

Both cities are experiencing shut-downs of their downtowns for security purposes, major road closures, flyovers by choppers, uniformed personnel occupying critical locations for security, and plain-clothes security as well. Beijing pulls slightly ahead in the appearance of police state on lock down because of the rolling tanks. Otherwise, we could have a new twitter tag #OMGPGHHASTANKS. I mean, we do have Casey Hampton, but I don't think he counts.

And to Hu Jintao, if you want to bring me back some of the glorious goodness that are the Pittsburgh Pierogies, you could walk into any Orthodox church's kitchen and bring me back a box.

Cousin Jim's wife Marcie worked dahntahn at GNC and posted pics of downtown with the barricades and riot security guards and boarded up stores (signs posted "We are OPEN" on the particleboard).
