Lafayette Avenue station, C train

Me: (is in Jamaica)
Me: (takes picture)
Cop: Why are you taking a picture of a mailbox?
Me: There's no law against taking pictures in public.
Cop: I know that, but why are you taking a picture of a mailbox?
Me: It's not a mailbox. See?
Cop: (looks at sticker that says "Syringes Only! No Mail")
Cop: Why would you want a picture of that?
Me: I'm weird.
Cop: (shrugs, walks away)
Some nice stuff at memorie dal sottosuolo -- I especially like the March 24th entry, and (farther down) the unexpected pairing of March 10th and March 5th.

Hehe, I was almost approached by a cop yesterday. I was taking pictures of a power generating plant. But in your case, I like your answer "I'm wierd". I think I will use that if questioned by a cop. :-)

Some cop downtown asked me about taking pictures of buildings and random things. Then he followed me and my friend for a block. Kinda creepy. "I like France."
