Free Socks

My faith in humanity (and in myself, for that matter) hit a near-record low today. I decided to take a walk down Nicollet Mall to get some fresh air and determine the best course of action for dealing with the world. I grumbled and snarled and exuded bitterness all around the mall for several blocks. Then at the corner of Nicollet and Eighth Street a cute girl gave me a free pair of socks for no discernible reason.

So that was nice.

I eventually came to the conclusion that the world couldn’t be all that bad if cute girls in dark glasses were wandering around, smiling cheerfully, and distributing free socks to people.

Back at it, then.
