Fri 5 May 2006
I just found out this morning that on Monday, the day when immigrants supposedly all ditched work to make a point about their impact on the country (altho around here, the only immigrants that participated that I know of are Hispanic), the traffic was so light due to their disappearance that the news did a segment on it. Los Angeles traffic that Monday was compared to the traffic of the previous 2 Mondays, and the previous 2 Mondays were light already due to Spring Break. But that Monday, it was even lighter than those days. I’m not sure if this is the impact on our community these immigrants meant to highlight.
Happy Cinco De Mayo. So anyway, Orlando’s traffic was awesome on Monday!! I think they should protest more often.. maybe on a Friday next time around 5 pm.
maybe you can put a bug in some immigrant’s ear… some immigrant aside from ME, that is.
