A feeling not unlike paranoia.

I've been growing increasingly worried these last couple days. I haven't been sleeping well, and I'm worried that someone, possibly a government agent, has been following us and intercepting our transmissions. I've been noticing the same red Ford Taurus almost everywhere we go. Yesterday, while trying to lose the red Taurus, we were intercepted by a San Francisco Police Cruiser. We were detained and questioned for a good amount of time, supposedly we had not come to a full stop at a stop sign, and the "officer" mentioned something about the cars license plate looking "funny". During the time we were detained, the red Taurus was barely visible around a corner, parked behind a bus stop.

Here is a picture of the Taurus in front of us while we were stuck in traffic on the highway:



I also have reason to believe that whoever is following us may be responsible for the rash that I've been experiencing. Last Tuesday night I went to bed in the room that we were sleeping in at my Aunt's house. There is a large window right next to the bed, and because of the foul smelling creek directly outside of the building, I went to sleep with the window closed. When I woke up I was no longer under my sheets or blanket, the window was open, and I had a terribly itchy rash all over my body.

Again, none of this would have me worried under normal circumstances. However, on our most recent trip to the Japanese Tea Garden I received a message in my fortune cookie. I believe that someone may be trying to warn me, or perhaps I mistakenly intercepted a message that was meant for my stalker.






Interestingly enough, the waitress that delivered my pre-bill fortune cookie disappeared moments after I read the message and a few moments after her disappearance, our original waitress brought us our bill AND a second set of fortune cookies, this time with no special notes inside.

I don't think we're in danger, but someone is watching us, and I think it has something to do with this Blog.
