Coming to you live from Mexico City, we have a slightly rumpled Isaac Cathey, who has just completed his first day at the CEPE (see other posts for what that stands for). Let’s ask him a few questions…

Exciting day here - some workmen are putting in a […]

Light Saber Security Man

Posted by Peter Dishman on June 6th, 2005

This is a terrible shot, but if it was clearer and I had a better zoom, you would see a security guard walking through the apartment parking lot at about midnight carry a light saber. Yup, the guy has a glowing red baton about three feet long in his hand as he strolls around […]
