We're taking a brief break from monitoring the ever-changing status of Occupy Seattle to fill you in on what was going on while you were protesting:

• The State is actually willing to study Mayor McGinn's later bar hours proposal! This excites us, and also makes us feel tired.
• Speaking of things that happen late at night, the woman who was allegedly attacked by Phoenix Jones has described the incident as "horrifying." This, by the way, is the woman who beat the "superhero" with a shoe.
• In actual law enforcement, state troopers have been keeping an eye out for dangerous drivers--from the cabs of semi-trucks along I-5. But what happens when the semis are the dangerous ones? Does the call come from inside the cab?
• And finally, in things that may us say "YAY!!", One Bus Away (also known as the best app of all time) is getting a big financial boost for improvements which promises to make it even more reliable. Amazing!
