acupuncture and bus drama

Today I went to get acupuncture for the first time. I was told I have a lot of heat in my body, so the goal is to get that out. The woman put needles in my ears, between my eyes, in my arms, hands, legs and feet. Most of it was okay, but a few were pretty painful. Then I laid there and did breathing exercises for 20 minutes until she came back and took the needles out. It was very interesting, and I am going twice a week for the next three weeks with the goal of making my skin somewhat better.
On the way home, on the 66 bus, a cop pulled the bus over and everyone was wondering what was happening. The bus driver said something about someone getting searched for a gun and everybody got off the bus except me and three other people. Then the driver said the cop had pulled him over because he was "driving erratically", which he wasn't, though many drivers do. Then I realized it was two white cops and black driver. Ugh. The driver went to talk to the cops and the cops told him they didn't like his "tone" when he was talking to them. The driver took the four remaining people on the bus' names and phone numbers for a witness list, and it was another half hour or so before we got moving again. Jeez.
