My husband and I were driving through Atlanta just last week when he put a red bandanna around his shaved head because it was hot. (We were stuck in traffic and turned off the air conditioner so the car wouldn't overheat.) As soon as he did so, someone in the car behind us threw a blue bandanna around their rear view mirror in a clear sign of 'this is who I'm affiliated with and I don't like you'. (Gangs are a common problem in Atlanta.) "Take it off! Take it off!" I shouted, but he thought it was funny. :/

Related story: So we're nearly at our location, my grandparents lake house, and he's still wearing this stupid thing that makes him look like a thug. It occurs to me that I've never seen a minority in or around this lake in my life (which is weird), when I look at him in all his thuggie Mexican glory. To make matters worse, he's got the windows rolled down and his blaring old school rap. "Are you trying to terrify everyone?!" I demanded. ...He thought that was funny to.

Final note: My husband is not a thug but knows how to walk the walk. He be from the projects.

You and Jen will be fine. Pueblo is not that far and you both really care about one another.
