Suspicions

It's hard to know what's suspicious these days - especially with foreign entourages in town for APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation - yes, it does look like it needs another noun at the end doesn't it?). On the way in today I noticed a garbage bin that had been covered in black plastic and sealed shut with police tape. However, this seemed to be the only bin in the area that has been sealed so. The other bins - across the road, around the corner - are still open for business. So, the question I found myself asking: is this suspicious? Or the street furniture maintenance worker who had put traffic cones on the footpath around his van, where he was working on a utility cover, and a patch of footpath further along. Is this suspicious? And who decides? It's likely to be a long week - but at least there's a chance we'll get to see some helicopter and fighter-plane fly-overs - and hopefully it will just be a continuation of their practice runs.
