mass media (televised and print) is largely ignoring the "occupation of Wall Street"
Holy shit, I hadn't heard anything about this at all (go figure). Time to go news-digging.

Thanks for the seaside photos, as always. I spent a couple days by the shore earlier this summer, and didn't realize how much I missed it till there were a few days here in Cambridge when the wind was blowing the smell of the harbor (relatively) far inland - I walked outside to be met by a salty gust, and immediately wanted to see the ocean again.
