Sign of the Times

Ray and i were sitting eating some delicious Z pizza on 2nd st tonight when a guy about my age, looking like the artsy, sylish guy type - not unlike anyone that i work with or hang out with, casually walked in to grab a newspaper from the side counter. But instead of taking a newspaper he grabbed the tip jar full of dollar bills and change and sprinted out the door! the guy working behind the counter ran after and tried to chase him down but he couldn't catch him. 

it made me stop and realize how lucky i am to be not only working right now but to have a great job. i guess i take that for granted. times are getting tough. there is a recession going on right now and people are forced to steal tip jars :(
