I was standing in the parking lot, in the shade of a tree, and focusing a camera on this. A gentle voice interrupted my professional-type concentration through the viewfinder.
"May I ask you why you're taking a picture of a CVS pharmacy?" it asked. "I hope you don't mind my asking?" she invited a reply with her upward inflection.
Talk about feeling sheepish. "The brick tower." I explained, "It doesn't look like a pharmacy and . . " I trailed off.
She laughed and made pleasant conversation, telling me where she and her husband had come from. Turned out she retired from the other university in my home town. You know, the famous one where S-the-guru was on the drum line. That one.
For a second it had crossed my mind that she thought I was taking photos for a terrorist group. But, it was only a pharmacy, not a bridge or a tunnel.
Guess not. She was just nice and curious . . .

Talk about nosy.
Nosy is a big-city concept. People from smaller communities are concerned. I think.
Still, it'd be nice to know she didn't take your tag and call her local po-leece! I guess I'll watch what I point and shoot from now on...
o1 Doc, that might pose a problem. We stopped at the local PD for directions one evening and it was locked up tight. No intercom or buzzer to summon a live body. All dark. All silent.
