Apparently…

Tonight I went to work out at my apartment complex’s gym.  As I was walking home, I noticed some light fog had rolled in, and the street lights were all haloed and pretty.  I also noticed a tree in front of the office that had a back light that made really cool shadows and light beams. 

So I got home, grabbed my camera and tripod, and back to the office I ran to catch the moment.

I set up my tripod, took a few test shots and began trying to dial in the right exposure to catch the back lit tree.

A guy walking his dogs walked up and here is the conversation that ensued:

guy:  hi

me: Evening!

guy: Taking pictures at midnight?

me: yea (it was 11:30 actually)

guy:  You know we’re supposed to report that?

me: huh?

guy: they consider it terrorist activity

me: huh?

guy: I’m not making this up, we are supposed to report it, you know, you  taking pictures of buildings and stuff late at night.

me:  (thinking:  WTF?)  Terrorist?

First of all, here is the essential ingredients to this debate:

A pregnant woman in Florida named Samantha Burton, was pregnant.  During the later days of her pregnancy she was confined to the hospital on bed rest, against her will by way of court order, to treat complications to her pregnancy.   The story goes on that she had smoked during the first 6 months of her pregnancy.  She was at the hospital because she had a false labor event, and the doctor advised her that if she did not stay in the hospital on bed rest and stop smoking she risked a miscarriage.

Burton is in her late 20s, has two young daughters and a common-law husband and holds down a blue-collar job, said her lawyer, David Abrams. She didn’t want an abortion, had obtained prenatal care and voluntarily went to the hospital after experiencing symptoms she’d been told to look out for, he said.

But she didn’t like the care she received at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. She said her doctor, Jana Bures-Foresthoefel, was brusque and overbearing. Her lawyer said bed rest for difficult pregnancies is a controversial issue because it can cause some complications like blood clots. Abrams said smoking by itself doesn’t cause miscarriages.
