Unless mistaken, I never shared the Featured Image—although that was my intention and mistaken belief having done so; ages ago.

The “Code of Conduct” sign was, and may still be, nearby Bloomingdales on the upper level of San Diego’s Fashion Valley Mall. “No weapons” means that I break the rules every visit—and, until now, without knowing.
