crime
i was walking down the street today, coming up on the intersection of 4th and union when this guy ran past me with a tan jacket on and ear length curly brown hair. he barely made it across the street before the light changed. the only reason i really noticed was because he was kind of dirty and gross looking and he almost ran into me (and i didn't want to get dirty and gross). i didn't really think of it beyond that until after the light changed and i crossed in the opposite direction (he had ran across union on 4th, i crossed 4th on union) and headed towards wamu on 5th and union. as i was crossing the alley between 4th and 5th, the same guy comes running across the street towards me, it looked as though he had come from david lawrence. he had his tan jacket stuffed under his arm, with what appeared to be quite a bulge of something else underneath it. he also had a black beret on which he threw into the dumpster as he ran through the alley looking back over his shoulder.
i'm pretty sure he stole something. i don't know if that's jumping to conclusions or not, but why would you throw your black beret in the dumpster while running through an alley? no one came out to chase him down or anything, so i don't really know, but it did make my day a little more exciting. if only i were quicker on the draw with the camera...

It WAS a black beret, and I imagine he realized that. Running is good for you. All seems normal to me.
