Took the dog for a walk, and on the way back, she was sniffing around people's feet and we met a really nice, beautiful couple who had just been to the National Memorial Museum. The husband looked an awful lot like Cedric the Entertainer, but of course, was not. They got into their car that was parked in the lot across the street from my building. I walked on, and passed one of the grumpy old men who lives in my building. He really doesn't like women, so he ignored my existence. Prudence growled at him. So, I'm getting up to the corner to cross and go back in, when the couple pulls up and tells me that someone is following me. While Prudence was doing her business on some grass near the sidewalk at the other end of the block, I passed a dude in an Army T-shirt that was tucked into his straight legged jeans, and he was wearing blue flip flops. He had very little hair. I halfway smiled back when he smiled at me. He creeped me out a little, but he kept walking, so I went on with walking my dog. People are very friendly while they're visiting the memorial. I just didn't think anything of it. Prudence got done, we were headed back to the trashcan by the corner, and I noticed he was standing there watching the people who were looking at the chain link fence. I continued on my way. The couple yelled at us that there was someone following me and that I should be careful. I didn't notice him, but he was following me. HE turned around and walked back the other way as soon as he saw the old man walk past me. Very abrupt. I guess it scared them, and they wanted to make sure I was OK. I picked up Prudence and we jay walked back to the building and hurried in. What the heck? Now I can't walk my dog by myself? He's an idiot to think to try anything with 40 people at the other end of the block, building security watching, and National Park Rangers at the National Memorial. But I am starting to get a little freaked out by the whole thing. What in the hell is this world coming to? I'm almost scared to take my dog for her mid evening walk now. Duckie
