yesterday y'all, i learned that we have library police.
reminded me of that stephen king story but i was still happy to see him here. '-)
did i tell y'all about the gang banger incident here at the library a few months ago?
it wasn't a shoot out or anything serious like that. but it was unsettling just the same.
baby bliss was looking for videos in the kid's section and i was checking out the CDs over on the other aisle.
she came and said, "mommy. there are some guys sitting in the children's section and something ain't right about them."
i asked her what she meant and she said she didn't know, just something. baby bliss ain't scared of much so i sashayed on over to see what she was talking about.
sure nuff, something was strange about those guys. i played it cool and strolled over to the videos with baby bliss. we acted like we were looking for movies but i was actually checking the guys out.
the first thing i noticed was the looks on their faces. they all looked spacey. not in a drugged way, just in a dog-tired kinda way, or like they were in stand-down mode and waiting for orders. weird...
second, i noticed their clothes. the clothing was typical urban teenager/young people type of gear: baggy pants, over-sized tees, and thick-soled footwear. the clothes looked obsessively clean and pressed, maybe brand spanking new.
what made them stand out was the red bandanas. one guy had one hanging from his lower pants pocket. another had his hanging from his back pocket. the third guy had his tied around his neck. they also stank. like they'd been sleeping in abandoned houses or dirty places.
just so happened that they left when we did. i told baby bliss to hang back, so they could go out before us. they got into two black SUVs with california tags.
scary.
