(Not Really) Amusing (Or Interesting) Personal Anecdote

The "Yes, existence has always been this fucking lame, are you asking merely to irk us further?" item immediately below reminded us that forty yrs. ago today the private French school (L'École Active Bilingue, hey alums!) we were forced to attend each day (That's a joke, actually.) let the American students out so we could picket or what-have-you in front of the United Snakes Embassy.
Somewhat amusing were the gyrene guards (in the days when the USMC provided guards for American embassies, pre-Xe) not in their usual dress blues but wearing cheap Sears suits, trying to be discreet as they took pictures of the dangerous radicals. Even if they hadn't been photographing, the buzz cuts & aviator sunglasses atop Sears' cheapest suits would have been a dead give-away,

    I was in NYC for New Year's Eve, 1983-84. The cops had yellow hats and plaid flannel coats.
