I bet you didn't know that today was the first day of smog season in Atlanta. yup. From here on it we'll get daily smog updates and lots of warnings telling us not to drive our cars or breath actual air unless it's absolutely necessary.
It also happened to be "A Day Without Immigrants", though I spent the day with myself anyway so it really wasn't an immigrant-free day. Unlike many of immigrants in this city, I did go to work today. Why? Because I'm here legally and I want to keep my job. It drives me nuts that the American government is actually considering an amnesty and citizenship for illegal immigrants. It took me two years to get down here legally, and now they want to offer citizenship to the people that cheated?
Well, at least I know that if something goes wrong with my immigration process between now and September I can just go on down to Mexico and walk back in.
The best parts of the immigration protests? The fact that A) they didn't seem to make the slightest difference in my life aside from clog the airwaves and B) the announcements on the train this morning letting all of the illegals who were protesting the proposed crackdown where to get off. They were all in English. The protestors on the train? Not so good with their English.
What was bad about the GO train announcement? The budget was just a big sham to draw our attention from the current PMs culinary proclivities. Didn't come out and deny it did he?

The announcement sounds better than what was show on the GO trains this week: "Stephen Harper Eats Babies." Read the article: http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/2006/05/02/1560009-sun.html

Overall they certainly make a difference. yesterday? Not so much. I had leftovers for lunch and ate at home in the evening.

Haven't you bought food while you are there? I think they have made a difference in your life if you eat.
