I had a thought last night… as I was attempting to drift off to sleep… I recalled hearing a news report some weeks ago about the thousands of impoverished Americans now forced to go without medication for their mental illnesses due to federal budget cuts (afterall, our Representatives and their Lobbyists don't have to ride the bus with these people every day)… but yeah, I remembered that, and wondered about that guy who shot up the Jewish center yesterday… and come to find out I was on the right track – the dude was bi-polar and in serious need of help. Hopefully now he'll get it.

A creepy thing about the one victim that died, after seeing her picture on the news I can swear she came to my store yesterday morning and that I had helped her… *shivers*

I did help one customer today, a rather handsome young man, who was higher than a kite on meth… he was almost literally buzzing around the store looking for something to steal, until I pestered him with enough questions about what he was looking for (something about wire cutters… probably so he could try and steal a laptop XD) than he eventually gave up and left. It was sad though. And he couldn't look me in the eye for ONE second either. That's how I knew.

Never trust a person who can't look you in the eye.
