This morning I had some errands to run...DMV, groceries, sort out some school stuff, etc, and I went out on my bike. Anyway, I went to Trader Joe's for groceries. As I was unlocking my bike in front of the store to leave (with 40lbs of food in my bag), a hottie asian chica approached me. A moment of terror washed over me, for there is only one reason a cute girl in Santa Cruz approaches me: To get me to join a cause. Apparently she was hawking some blah blah blah save the trees give me money blah blah blah environment blah blah. All very scripted lines. There's a company putting rugrats working for commission on the street for all manner of liberal causes in liberal cities throughout the country. Anyway, the exchange went like this:
girl: "Hey, could you spare a moment for the environment?" ("moment" eventually will translate into $15, from listening to the other girl's schpiel to another victim)
me: *looks down at bike, somewhat confounded* "...um...I'm good, thanks."
girl: "Awww, come on, don't you care about the environment? Can I have just a moment of your time?"
me: *even more confused* "...how did you get here today?"
girl: "In my...oh...wait."
Sheepishly, her eyes pointed towards the ground. I had a brief chortle, and rolled away.
