Ethnically, I'm whiter than white-bread. Hair gets pretty blonde in the sun. Eyes as blue as... well, something blue. I've been to DC a few times*, even ending up (read: lost) in neighborhoods where my experiences here came in handy. There's all kinds of body-language and stuff that goes on, ja know? Didn't run into any trouble. But I'm also unnaturally lucky... I wouldn't be surprised if your brain knows a lot of the body-language and whatnot, if only subconsciously, after the life you've led. Tho if that were true, it'd've kicked in in DC too... hrm. Eh. I like to think about stuff like that. It's for sure a factor, tho folk don't seem to give it much weight. "didn't explain subtlety well" -- Heh! I like that sentence. I *think* I read you right, and I wasn't saying you were wrong, really. My perceptions are susceptible the same as anyone's, if that makes sense. Ten miles from downtown is a stretch tho, you gotta know. If you don't, you're lucky too. =] Barelas and MT are not the worst places here-- don't know how good the comparison is, since I wouldn't know the worst in DC (even if I was in 'em). [self-snip of stuff I wrote, that didn't do much] Basically, it comes down to this (no matter where you are): Be aware of your surroundings. Hell, just Be Aware. I've enjoyed *everywhere* I've gone**. From tiny sleepy towns around NM to big wide-awake party towns like New Orleans. *See all the historical crap & don't bet someone who says they know where you got 'dem shoes. **jail wasn't the most fun I'd had -- A good phrase may outweigh a poor library. --Thomas W.
