Gone with the Wind's sillage - a journal

UF test pack – Mx393

Test 1 – 3 sprays to chest. Off to get a haircut. Things went fairly normally. The receptionist and the haircut lady were friendly. Haircut lady was talkative. While I was sitting on the bench waiting and reading a magazine, an older lady sat down next to me. Then a while later her teenaged daughter sat down between us. The daughter and I exchanged glances but then she devoted her attention to speaking with her mother.

Test 2 – 2 drops mutant a314, 3 sprays MX393 to chest. Then off to man a booth at a professional convention. The conventioneers were attending talks for a good portion of the time so I had lots of time to go to the other booths and talk to the people manning them. Good receptions from both men and women, and extended conversations. A young not-yet-legal lass who was working at the convention stopped by to talk to me. She was engaging yet shy. A couple of times she ran out of things to say and got a look on her face like she would like to continue the interaction but didn’t know how. I rescued her each time and she continued on. Finally she realized she would have to get back to work and left my booth.

There was an oyster bar at the convention with people shucking raw oysters for the conventioneers. I had quite a few. My wife, who was also there, reminded me more than once of my later responsibilities after eating the oysters.

As we were wrapping up a couple of ladies from adjacent booths stopped by and asked me if I was coming back the next day.

Overall impressions – No off the wall effects evident. Things went pretty normally. People seemed comfortable around me. Young women did not seem at all put off by this mix.
