Cold Water, $1

Dear Diary,

I was walking through Central Park today (unfortunately, I live too far to walk there so couldn’t bring the dog and large dogs aren’t allowed on the subway or buses) and there was a young guy selling water for $1. He didn’t look like the “regular” vendors and his cooler wasn’t one of those large red and white plastic ones the regular vendors tug but one of those small cloth ones that frat boys keep in the back of their car for beer picnics. There was also something odd about the way he was yelling out “cold water, one dollar!” He seemed a little embarrassed every time someone turned him down.

I have a feeling he was laid off or just graduated college or even law school and had his job offer revoked or just couldn’t get a job.

This market really sucks.

For everyone.
