The Loot

So after the bars close late last Thursday night, I find myself walking down a mostly-empty Market street towards home. I make the turn at Walgreens to start heading south, and find that the large glass window facing 9th street is freshly smashed, with pellets of safety glass still tinkling down onto the sidewalk.

It's not clear whether the two guys in front of the window were the ones that actually did the smashing, but what is clear is that they're stealing a rice cooker from the window display.

Guy 1: "Dude! Open your backpack."

Guy 2: (opens backpack) "Shit!" (drunkenly giggles)

Guy 1: "Here you go man, a rice cooker. From......Jesus!"

Guy 2: (drunkenly giggles)

Halloweenie

I realized, as I sat at an outdoor cafe with my mother yesterday, that I couldn't say- not with 100% confidence, anyway- who was in costume and who wasn't.
