Yes, I agree.  The storms may well have passed us by by 2pm,
and the afternoon weather forecast sounds pretty pleasant.
But it looks as though Main & Neil is the starting point for the
bike race.    Not a good place to demonstrate.

Rats.  

Ron Szoke and I talked about this -- we agree on bailing out.
So we won't be bringing signs to the demonstration site, either.
I might go by there for a while just to catch people who
don't happen to read their e-mail in the next couple of hours.

Sorry, all.  We'll have to decide whether to just wait until August,
or what.
