Down here at the pawn shop

[Undertoad]

This morning between the parking lot and the shop, as a counterpoint to the white woman who was yelling "Beaners!" last week, a black man was yelling "Fuckin' nigger!" to every person passing him on the street corner.

He did not yell it at me.

Just now a man came in and told my compatriot that his wife had died and his daughter had gone blind. He said this while bargaining for an iPod Touch. A gift for his daughter.

Not asked was how the daughter could possibly operate an iPod Touch if she is blind.
