I'm moving -- expect all future entries to be posted on my new WordPress blog at ZachGale.WordPress.com.  It's still a work in progress, and I hope to move most of my old stories from this blog to that one.

Protest.jpgHundreds of people demonstrated around the Los Angeles California Mormon Temple on Nov. 6 to protest the state's passage of Proposition 8. The protest and march around Los Angeles (in the slide show you will hear the moments leading up to the march) wreaked havoc on Southern California's rush hour traffic and continued for hours.
