I walked 9K steps today, which included a 30 minute walk for my lunch time at work. I counted the total as 70 minutes of walking.

Today's walk included maybe like five boys stealing some pizzas. It was like neighborhood drama. As I walked, first I watched the incident and then I listened to people talk about it. Since I work in impoverished neighborhoods there will always be stealing. I observed mixed emotions from people- very upset, a bit of excitement- It occurred in the most happening area of the neighborhood, so it generated some energy somehow.

Once I saw a man in another impoverished neighborhood leave a drug store and start getting chased. He tore off his shirt which contained many, many products from the drug store and ran. The desperation of poverty is primal.
