A little more for today. Just got this email from one of my more energetic correspondences in England. It's enough to send me back down to the catacombs for another nude photo shoot. And yes, I think that many locales are getting a bit egocentric about how important they are to terrorists. But then, I laughed when I heard that the Space Needle was evacuated on Sept. 11.
Here goes, the latest thing in my inbox. Quote.
I have just been to my local corner shop, to stock up on organic soya (they do the best deal in Sheffield).
I took my rucksack as I usually buy 4 or 5.
When I got to pay, the young man serving eyed my rucksack as I placed it on the counter ready to fill. It is lilac, well travelled and a much loved companion.
I told him that I was an advocate for "Rucksack Rights" as I feel they have been getting a really bad press lately. Yesterday, walking through the train station, I noticed that not a single black person had a rucksack on their back.
The young man replied that they now have a policy in the shop that if a black man or woman comes into the shop with a rucksack on their back they are asked to leave and will not be served.
It is not often that I am left speechless. I am all for awareness and caution, but this pure fear! Sheffield rarely makes it on the local or national weather map so I really do not see why it would be bombed and why would they pick a corner shop that rarely has more than 3 people in it.
Twinkles,
