Despite my reservations, I think that the Sunday protest went off without a hitch. If you didn’t catch the news today, a metric buttload of people spent yesterday walking pass the Republican National Convention enunciating their distaste of the current administration. The actual size of the crowd can vary according on your political persuasion, but according to the Times, it was a half-million people.

If I were a high school math teacher, I would have my kids try to figure out this number. At one point the parade filled 40 blocks. All you would have to do is find the volume of the street and divide that by the space of the average protester fills up while protesting. Geometry, geography, real-life application, this is what kids need in math class.

Sorry folks, it's getting late. I'll have to save my political analysis for later on this week. I am going to leave you with something completely different, the pinewood derby car I just made. The cars have to be turned in this Wednesday and the races are in October.

I just hope they water it.
