Yes thank you for mentioning me here in this thread 😊.
I honestly don't know which is going to be worse: the actual Category 5 hurricane chain sawing through us at 3 mph, for 2 days, or the stark, apocalyptic aftermath time known as "After Melissa".
Enough already Tammy!
Get your scrawny butt back to your own thread.

Just stumbled into the Cold Dark Room… it’s oddly cozy in here 😄 I wasn’t sure if newcomers are supposed to bring cheese, coffee, or just confusion — so I brought all three.

Hope there’s still room in the corner for another slightly bewildered reptile enthusiast.

I'm glad to see you here and been praying and thinking of you all day. I'm finally seeing things on our news stations about Jamaica and the other islands around your area. I hope it turns and doesn't hit you 🙏.

Apparently I look suspicious, since I got stopped by the police while walking to campus today.

So basically, a police car approached me very slowly and I was wondering what was going on. A little after they had passed me, they made a U turn and started driving towards me. They stopped me and rolled down their window, and I was just thinking well, this is a first! They asked for my name and when I answered, they told me that I wasn't the one they were looking for! Well, now I wonder who they were looking for 🤔

Another police car clearly on the look out passed me later, but thankfully didn't stop me again...

Don't blame the police FT, you likely resembled one of those radical activists we hear about all the time here. LOL at least your police checked. Baltimore had over 27 OD's in a weekend and no one was even picked up for questioning.
From their behaviour I assumed that they weren't looking for any criminal, but maybe for someone that is missing. They just asked for my name, no ID was asked.

Anyway, we have currently no trouble with any radicals or protesting.

FTE, Well, I would be a lil unnerved if that happened to me, as I'm sure you probably were also.
But, it's good that it was settled easily AND that they are searching for SOMEONE they wanna talk to...
Move along folks . . . nothing to see here!
Over here on this side of the pond, if it was ICE, you would have been scooped up, scurried away, and either let go later, or been prepped to be deported.
