On my way home after a delightful conversation at the local poutine shop, I passed two women.

I believe they were muslim.

They were wearing that thing.

You know.

Not that full one, but that other one. The one that’s pronounced that one way and spelled those other ways.

I’m not entirely sure why that’s significant, and I suppose that’s my point.

I have no idea if I should or should not be acknowledging these people.

In this instance, I split the difference and gave them a glance and a smile rather than a proper hello.

I’m somewhat ashamed of myself now.

I realize I only get one vote, but I’m casting it for greeting everyone properly and equally.
