My sentiments exactly.
And, Chris, Alexis, I can assure you that Vana is totally worth perving over....she doesn't seem to take offense, either.
Though I am sure that Sam would like to enforce a "look, but don't touch" policy. And she is definitely into the ladies, not the chaps. Not that we let that stop us from a little playful flirting now and then.
And Sam's right....she's definitely a hottie....as is the angel in her AV.

I posted the following on Pure's "meet john doe" thread earlier today, but will put it here for the non-politicals who would avoid that thread:
An interesting coincidence: What is "suspicious?"
________________________________________
Right after finalizing my previous post here I went out on the jog that I had been simultaneously whining about to Vermillion on the blurt thread. I was actually thinking about this thread when I saw something unusual. A teenage African American male was running at a fast pace through the yards in a middle class residential neighborhood, population 2/3rds white and 1/3 minority. He was dressed flamboyantly but casually, in red pants and baggie black and gold jersey. He emerged from between two houses on the north side of the quiet street, crossed it in front of me, and continued south between two houses on that side of the street. As he ran he was exchanging messages with someone using the "walkie-talkie" mode of a cell phone, with the "beep" between messages.
The yards he was cutting through were just two houses in from a medium-size north-south street. One block south in the direction he was running is a large urban high school that is mostly minority, most of whom are from middle or working class families, but a portion of whom are from underclass backgrounds. This took place more than an hour after the end of the lunch period, when it is not unusual to see lots of teenagers on the streets nearby, often behaving in youthful high-spirited ways. At this hour the students were in school, however.
I thought this was suspicious, and asked myself if I would think so if the teenager was white and appeared to be a member of the bourgeoisie, as I myself am. I'm almost certain I would have thought so, because I've known a lot of bad apples who fit that description. There is the slightest bit of question in my mind though.
With this thread in mind, I thought I would not go out of my way to report this event, but if in the next few minutes or so I saw a cop car in this quiet residential neighborhood that would also be unusual, and the two events could plausibly be viewed as not a coincidence.
Am I a racist to have been suspicious?
There may or may not be more to this story, but I will let that question stand alone for bit before I say.
Blurt being a non-political thread I will post part 2 without waiting:
. . . Continuing on my jog, a block and a half away, I did indeed see a cop car. He was slowing just before a stop sign, and I waved to indicate I had something to say. I expected him to roll down the window, but instead he pulled over, turned off the car, and unfastened his seat belt. WTF? thought I. He got out, and when I tried to speak told me to hang on for a minute. He checked in on the walkie talkie, and walked over to the house on the other side of the street. By this time a citizen in pajamas had come out of one of the houses, and almost immediately two more cop cars were were coming down the street.
The other cops got out, and one of them asked the citizen if he was the one who called. He was. He told me he saw two African American youths acting suspiciously, around the house the first cop had gone to check out, and called. Apparently they did break in, but for some reason they took off on bicycles. One of them was caught, and was in the back of one of the cop cars. I asked the citizen what the other looked like. He told me: Dressed in red pants with a black shirt.
I was eager to continue my jog, so told the cops what I saw and started running. Right around the corner sitting on a lawn was a black duffel bag with stereo jack cords hanging out. I went back to tell the cops.
And, that is the end of the story. It was an unusual event. There is a modest amount of crime in this area, not a high amount. I jog four times a week in the area and in my several years here have never seen anything similar.

I just havta comment on this.
First of all, I would not have hesitated to call the police IMMEDIATELY. Not because he was black, but because (as you said) was running THROUGH yards and communicating on a Walkie-Talkie.
There is no reason whatsoever for someone to be jogging AND tresspassing, period.
The thing is, is that you sound like your fear of labeling yourself as a racist could have potentially prevented you from doing the CORRECT thing.
Crooks are crooks, it doesn't matter what the color of their skin is.
Case in point. A few years ago I was living in a very affluent suburb of Memphis, Tennesse. For more than two years, houses were being robbed in daylight. The crooks always got away cuz the thieves would blend in with the "type" of people in the neighborhood. And when I say type I am talking well dressed and driving expensive vehicles. It had been reported that there were several suspects of various races. Color wasn't the issue, how people presented themselves was.
That and stupidity. Personally if I see someone loading up a vehicle or even an unfamiliar vehicle, I stop, make a point to write down a description of the vehicle and plate number if I can see it. Then I also make a point to let the inviduals know that I am looking at them. And on occasion, will even ask questions.
I certainly hope my neighbors in my new neighborhood are as anal-retentive as I am.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with everything you say. The thing that made this a little bit ambiguous is that he was a kid, there's that big high school nearby, and it can be hard to distinguish youthful rambunctiousness from criminal activity in a situation like this. And I have no desire to quash youthful rambuctiosness. Had this been someone in there mid 20s I may well have done what you say. As it was, the "screen" I selected - seeing a cop in the next few minutes - was exactly the correct one in this instance.Misty_Morning said:
