Leave work, stop and get some groceries, walk down to my block to find...this.

I ask some people standing in front of my building if they know what's going on. Apparently, they tell me, the building next door to mine is the "secret downtown location" where IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn is to be serving out his house arrest sentence.





After sitting around for two hours waiting for SOMETHING to happen, suddenly all the photographers and news vans just pack up en masse and leave. So...did it happen? I have no idea. All the news programs are talking about it like it did, so I'm guessing either there was a last-minute change of plans, or this whole thing is some sort of decoy or misdirection.

Ack, I'm going for my run.
