Occupy update and Boggs West Landing

Boggs West Landing - Catlettsburg KY - barge coming in
Update

Worked the line on Judd plaza over the lunch hour, roughly noon till 2pm... Was informed by one of our members, who had been to the local college (ACTC - Ashland Community Technical College) to rouse support for the cause, that his group could only speak from the "free speech square," a bathroom tile sized square marked on the pavement. The Political Science department head came down and told him that if the group didn't stand on the square, they'd be removed from the property... (What the ....!?). Even the college security was more concerned that the flag he was carrying not touch the ground than his freedom of speech or his groups ability to all stand on that 4 inch x 4 inch square...  What ever happened to the "Student Movement?" We volunteered to serve dinner at the community kitchen for the dinner hour. Then we went to relax at Boggs West Landing in Catlettsburg and watch barges moving up and down the river.
