nonionayThanks to Presidents Day, I actually get a day off to recuperate post-con!!
And so, I get to make zillions of posts as I think of them.
And now, something I forgot to mention in my last post. When we stopped for lunch and gas somewhere between Pasco and Yakima, I ran into the convenience store to get batteries for Keffy's radio tuner. The cashier saw my hair sticking out the bottom of my coat and commented admiringly on its length. Behind me, a guy parroted her comment and added, "I'll bet your husband likes to brush it for you. Does he? Does your husband like to brush it?"
I glared, tried to think of something appropriate to say, and cowardly bypassed, "I'm a lesbian," to settle pathetically on, "No comment."
Speaking of long hair and bad social relations, I was waiting for a panel to start, when a guy behind me commented, "you took down one of your braids." Now, Friday, I had my hair in two french braids. Saturday, I put part of it up in my usual octopus clip, and braided two small segments, letting the rest hang loose. It was a totally different hairstyle, and I said something to that effect with mild irritation. As I turned back to what I was doing, I realized that guy was probably trying to flirt with me, he wasn't obnoxious or bad-looking, and I should have been quicker on the draw. But by that time, the panel started, and I never got a chance to apologize to him.

Do you have people you don't know pet it, too? Grrrr...
