i was in florida last week with my sister, an ex-scientologist, and our mother
(to attend a funeral).  my brother is an avid scientologist and has been one for
20 years.  we drove through clearwater, which is their major east coast
headquarters, l.a. being the other on the west coast, when i noticed all these
people walking around in white uniforms, with very 'determined' gaits.  i was
somewhat surprised, but apparently they wear these white naval type uniforms,
some even had epulets on their shoulders!  pretty strange seeing all these
white ghosts 'marching' up and down the streets.
