You know what 9 a.m. is?

Too damn early for the homeless protester band to be banging on pipes, cowbells and buckets. That's what it is.

It is now almost 12:30, and they haven't so much as taken a break since I got here this morning. They're currently protesting an empty building because the contractor allegedly does not pay standard area rates for carpenters and a few others.

No one is in the building. No one from the company they are protesting is on site. So, at least all the noise is productive!
