I was on my way to campus today and stopped off for a cup o joe at Cafe Java (yum yum). Parked my car, looked right, and there sat this:
As evidenced by the pic, I felt the need to snap a shot of the Homeland Security vehicle. Unbeknownst to me, the officer had been approaching his car, and had seen me pull out my cell, hold my arm out, and take the picture. Did I look like a weirdo? You bet I did! But it didn't stop me from nodding to the officer, and hopping out of the car to purchase my life blood.
As I got back into my much-abused Accent, latte in hand, it occurred to me that I only got a slightly funny look from Lt. F. Protective Service because I'm white as white gets. Short red hair, pale, clean, wearing a dress. If he hadn't seen my car, he might have even suspected me for a (R). Thankfully, the Flying Spaghetti Monster decal, and the dinosaur eating a Jesus fish gave me away as other than. (I'm not a (D), either, mind you.)
I wonder what he would've done if looked like I might speak Arabic, and he saw me snapping the shot.
