The Red Shirts are comin'.
For days, the newspapers published routes to avoid. I stocked up the pantry and filled up the car with gas.
Last night Andy and I ventured out to Wat Tat Thong, between Sukhumvit 71 and 63, for a funeral. On the way, Andy tuned in to the Thai traffic station jaw saw roi, where people can call in traffic reports. One man reported that over 100 cars blocked the Bangna-Srinakarin intersection.
The Red Shirts are here.
An English-language newspaper reported this morning that 80,000 demonstrators flooded Rajdamnern Avenue, where many government buildings are located. The Red Shirt leadership says they are prepared to stay seven days. Four days at least. It's like having unwelcome guests in your house. You can't tell them to get out because you're too polite to say so.
Go home. Please. Somebody, turn out the lights when you leave.
