And the teachers revolt

Last night, on the way home from the office, our group took two vehicles.  The lead vehicle called the second car (which I was in) and indicated that we should take the LONG way home.  I anticipated a blocked road from a accident or some such nonsense, but it appears that the local teachers were supposed to be paid that day by the government, but weren’t.  So, some friendly protests ensured.  By this I mean, there were angry men wandering around with machine guns. Typically, no one gets hurt, but there is a lot of angry posturing.

Apparently this happens all the time.
