Several years ago, I played paintball at a large field near Kitchener, Ontario Canada -- Flag Raiders (an excellent field by the way). The game, a large scenario game, was to begin early, about 7am. So me and my team decided to drive to Kitchener from London the night before. It was our intention to "crash" at a local hotel or motel so we could get a fresh start the next day. Unfortunately, as luck and poor planning would have it, there was some sort of convention in town and there simply were "no vacancies". There wasn't a room to be had anywhere nearby.

Instead of simply returning home, we all decided to simply hang out around Kitchener. You know, hanging out, walking the streets, making "last call" and drinking plenty of coffee at every Tim Horton's we could find. It wasn't a very "prudent" thing to do as we certainly weren't going to get any sleep for the game but, hey, we had fun.

The point of this is that the five of us were dressed in camoflauge uniforms, hardly appropriate attire for anywhere but a paintball field or, perhaps, for a military operation. We certainly did not "fit in" and we did attract quite a few glances from people and passing police cruisers. Luckily we were never stopped or questioned by the police though we did have to explain ourselves to a number of people who passed us on the street. Nevertheless, regardless how curious or out of place we seemed, we did have a legitimate, albeit ridiculous, reason for our appearance.

I have to ask, knowing that paintball is quite a popular sport in SouthWest Michigan, could these "suspicious" men in cammo's possibly been members of a paintball team facing a predicament much like the one that my team and I faced? You know, sometimes things are that simple. Just wondering and offering my take on things.
