Sword Sale!

So out here in the desert country there are guys who wear cloths on their heads that many times cover most of their faces. Alot of times those cloths are black, creating some measure of discomfort for me. I mean I grew up watching Westerns and other shows that teach us to not trust a guy who wears a mask, especially a face covering black mask. Of course there are exceptions, but none of these guys are riding a white horse, leaving Z's behind, wearing tights and a cape, or are professional Mexican wrestlers. For example, the other day a man passed us wearing the full head wrap and wearing a sword on his waist. He didn't go all camel ninja on us or anything, he just politely greeted us in French. Still, a sword? Call me culturally ignorant or insensitive all you want, but I'm keeping an eye on the guy with the sword. Today on the bus, a hooded man returned to the bus after a rest stop with THREE swords, and was walking up and down the aisle looking for a place to stow them. I can only imagine it was a buy two get one free sale at the rest area or something. Good for him I guess. I'm just glad RPG's were regular price.
