so far, the angels have been angels

Aside from frequent buzzing over our heads by police helicopters, our visit this weekend by the Hells Angels has been pretty benign. Sure, they look scary enough, but so far we've seen no reason to fear any of them. In fact, some of the locals who were so "up in arms" when they heard about our pending visit are now suggesting that we are experiencing the "lighter side of Hell" - angels who are older, more settled down, with families and *gasp* children, who perhaps have successfully survived a bout or two of drug rehabilitation. Whatever. They're not here to terrorize us, so they're not.

I think they're just here for a good time, and I have a hard time believing that any group would ride from as far away as places like New York and Maine just to start trouble in our sleepy little town of 2,500 people. Even the non-angel tourists seem to be getting along with them.

I'll admit that I'm not planning on spending lots of time downtown this weekend, but we don't generally go downtown when there are lots of tourists around, anyway.
