Things Seen and Heard Today

I was getting on the freeway this evening when an unmarked, black police car came up quickly behind me. Since I have gotten two speeding tickets in the last year, I instinctively pulled to the right hoping he wasn't after me. That's when I noticed the pink hijab on the driver. I have seen lots of strange people driving in old police cars, but this image was one that left me smiling and shaking my head. Oh what an amazing world I live in!

Then I stopped at Trader Joe's for some organic vegetables and overheard this conversation between four college students. The two girls are the first speakers; the boys are the indented speakers.

Oh My Gawd, I cannot believe you are here.

Yeah, have to stock up on food sometimes, right. Cannot live on beer forever.

So...you on campus or what?

No, I am on vacation. Just thought I'd audit 15 units while I am here.

You are an ass! (insert two sets of giggles)

Yeah, well, so. We rented a place by the beach. You need to come over. 

Sure that would be awesome, especially if tomorrow is like today. 

You are not kidding. It was raining this morning, so I wore jeans and a long-sleeve shirt. Big mistake. When I got out of my first class it was muggy. 

Then when I got out of my second class it was freaking hot. 

It is so wrong we have to endure classes in this weather. 

Oh Gawd I know. I went out to sit in the BMW just to have some decent A/C. 

 Oh Gawd, they are so privileged. Again, I was shaking my head.
