I was walking back from the grocery store and passed two young men who were standing on the sidewalk, talking. They were dressed roughly, looked a bit sketchy and possibly gangsterish, and smelled of marijuana, and I gave them a bit of a wide berth as I passed. And overheard them having an earnest discussion about soil degradation and crop rotation (and they weren't referring to weed). I totally felt like turning back around and joining in the conversation. How exciting to find young people talking about those things, and how bad I felt for jumping to conclusions about them because of their appearance.
