But today, there was real excitement. Apart from being tax day (woohoo!), it was a day of "Tea Parties" across the nation. In an attempt of public display against misappropriated government spending, bailouts, and taxation in general, Tea Parties were held in various cities across the country. Unfortunately for me, the Houston Tea Party created a lot of racket outside of my office window for the last several hours of the day. Even from behind sealed windows on the 17th floor, I could hear the band and the crowd in the plaza across the way.
And by the time I left work, the streets were packed with demonstrators and police. What a mess!
