and give themselves a little extra time."A Council spokesman added, "These traffic orders apply only to the event
on Saturday, July 2. Other events later in the week will also result in
road closures or restrictions. Details of these will be available over
the next week."

telephone conversation with a friend of mine during the d.c. riot of 1991:
me: "what are you into tonight?"
him: "i dunno. kate's making dinner. after we eat we'll probably head down to the riot for a bit to throw a few rocks, then come back and smoke a couple bowls and watch tv."
