Any chance I can move back to the United States? I'm not sure what country this is that has all the same place-names and landscapes, but it doesn't seem to be the country I thought I knew:

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - A lawyer was arrested late Monday and charged with trespassing at a public mall in the state of New York after refusing to take off a T-shirt advocating peace that he had just purchased at the mall. [...]"

Today has been kind of crazy and it's just starting. Well, starting today was crazy enough to have taken all day. I was supposed to spend the day in Virginia then go to Homespun Ceilidh Band rehearsal. Instead, I've been playing phone-tag/email-tag to find out what I have to take where (and getting copies of stuff emailed to me to print out) so as to have promo materials in the hands of folks at two AM radio stations who are planning to talk to members of the band. I'd hoped to get the errands done early (I found out about all of this last night) and just get to Virginia late, but here it is come up on the evening rush hour and I'm about to go dive into metal and rubber that flows in an asphalt riverbed that we call highways, deliver stuff to a station in Annapolis that I have an address for, hope I can find out where in Glen Burnie to go to drop off the other packet, then, since it'll be kind of late to try to do much else and not really worth coming home to try to get a nap, I'll go to Bowie to help my brother with something he asked for my help with, maybe catch a couple of winks there, then proceed to Silver Spring for rehearsal. Unfortunately the thing I need to do elsewhere in Baltimore is up in Charles Village, and I don't think I have time to go North before I go South-East.

Wheeeee!

Watch this space for more info if I get it in time!
