[Arel had a few comments to me that she said I could pass on:]

They had no warning that we were coming, and sent one poor badly
dressed and coiffed, thin woman with glasses who looked quite drawn in
on herself out to put out a table by herself, with a chair, then to
stand on the corner and hand out hastily-gathered strips of black and
tan paper that looked like bookmarks to counter our entheta.  I would
have taken one, but I was too busy listening to music and keeping out
of peoples' way and checking on Arnie.  

After that some martinet of a woman came out and talked at her for a
long time.  Neither one of them looked happy.  We saw--and I
photographed--two (count 'em TWO) Sea Org officers (both women) come
out of the org, stand talking for awhile (while we were across the
street at the coffee shop), then pass us on their way south.  

The poor woman on the corner, unlike (apparently) her colleagues, did
not seem to have learned to turn the self-hatred encouraged in her by
the "church" toward its "enemies" yet.  I don't know, however, if she
was glaring at Arnie as they stood on the same corner together. 

Before I took any pictures, a male scientologist came out and took a
picture of us together, so I warned Arnie that next would be rumors of
romantic interests between him and me.  I'm glad you found that funny.
