Berr's morning

Berr eats apples

There are many reasons I'm not the parent of the year... But what's better than a sprinkled donut on a beautiful San Francisco morning?

In hindsight

Initially, Newsom talked about creating a protest area separate from the torch route. That plan was eventually abandoned. So instead of keeping the Tibetan protestors in one area, the CIty created a Chinese area and kept everyone else out. In essence they created a fake street wth nothing but Chinese nationals who were bussed in, across from the ballpark, and had the torch run there. Not a Tibetan flag in sight. And this gave China the image they wanted to portray. Will be very interested to see how this shakes out over the next few days...

Me and my friends at the torch

I was very popular for some reason. Whenever I held up my Tibetan flag on a stick, I was surrounded by 20 or so Chinese who wanted to stand very close to me and wave their flag while shouting and insulting me.

It was right about here, where these 3 pushy Chinese protestors were elbowing their way in front of Tibetan man of about 70 years old, that I couldn't stand observing undercover any more. The big Tibetan to the left is the old guy's son I think, and he was being completely restrained. That's when I gave up snooping and reporting and just started protesting.

Someone kept putting I heart Tibet stickers on the backs of Chinese protestors who were fighting with Tibetans.
