Allowed Cloud news!

Allowed Cloud-violating season ought to never end. It should be year-round! Seamless! Interactive! Bold! A bridge to the 21st century!

As you know, the Purple People Bridge - officially called the Newport Southbank Bridge - seems more like a bridge to the 17th century. It has a list of Allowed Clouds so voluminous that "shoeless persons" are prohibited.

But I've just been told that several Allowed Cloud violations (or evidence thereof) were witnessed on the span today!

For starts, a man rode a bike on the pedestrians-only portion. I've done exactly that before - but only when the bike portion is closed (which it often is).

Funnier yet, a condom wrapper was sighted on the pavement in the middle of the bridge - which is strong evidence of a major Allowed Cloud violation!

I'm also told that right after Riverfest - a veritable monarch's ransom of Allowed Clouds - an empty vodka bottle was sighted in the alcohol-free zone. (I thought the entire event was alcohol-free, but I'm having a hard time finding details.)

At least people are challenging Allowed Clouds. It looks like that may be the only way to stop America's slide down the slippery slope of much stricter regimentation.
