Whoops

For about three minutes today, I inadvertently became an anti-choice protester, or at least acted like one. But knowing how many bomb threats have been made, when I passed the local clinic well before opening and saw a huge car idling in the parking lot, doesn't it make sense to write down the make, color, and license plate?

It wasn't until later (yes, I was keeping an eye on it as I ran my morning errands) that I saw a guy come out and check the clinic door and another person in the car and realized it was a set of really early clients. Mind you, Eeyore had already set up camp, so if the idea was to beat the protesters in, it didn't work. But by the time I left, it was only a few more minutes until the escort shift arrived.

Especially as this clinic has had someone thrown in jail for threatening to specifically bomb it and he just got out. On my first shift, my ex-military team lead was telling me the tactical places to park, and his reasoning included "emergency blast shelter if necessary."

So, yeah, when it comes to possible bomb attacks, paranoid doesn't begin to cover it.
