DC Casual

I'm sitting here in a cafe/grocery store, a refreshingly bright and pleasant space in this kinda run-down neighborhood. It's called, fittingly, Windows Cafe, and it has free wi-fi, for Windows or OS X. The place is run by Ethiopians, and they only charge $1.50 for a big ol' muffin.

A young gent, tall and skinny in a Snoop Dogg sorta way, just walked in and shouted, "y'all got some lettuce?" The girl behind the counter noticed he was limping and asked what happened. With the same verve with which he asked for lettuce, he smiled and said, "I got shot!"

Lettuce? Hmm.

1.50! That's 50% over the retail price in Yeshivat Bat Ayin. Highway robbery I tell you!
