Wally, this one's for you. The window with the gun you liked.

A funny thing happened as I was taking this photo. A lady walked out of a neighbouring building and told me to make sure that I got the Marine in the picture. She then explained that the Marine uniform on the mannequin is her son's and that he is in Iraq. She further told me that all the uniforms came to be in the window in the same fashion. The police uniform is that of Cammack Village, a city-within-a-city here. I told her that I thought that was really neat of them to put their son's uniform on display and that I hoped her son makes it back home safe and then she got in her Mercedes and drove off.

Strange.
