all of the regulars like my haircut. including one seriously creepy guy whom i would rather did not notice small changes in my appearance. also the penny guy is now my new best friend. he walks all over town and i've seen him a few times and waved. today i met him on the street and he was worried that i was out sick because i was on my lunch break. cute old people are fun. this is definitely the sort of job where you meet alot of locals. i saw twice as many people at the store, but they were all tourists, or artists.
speaking of tourist season, the onslaught of out of staters has begun. i know this because a very fancy suv from mass. containing a perfect suburbia family (their two daughters even had matching shirts on, with no coats) parked in front of the bank today. what they can possibily be doing with their time is anyone's guess. now i didn't actually see the plate, but children that are dressed to match and seem to think that spring begins in march are indicators of awayness. i've also witnessed a few coa students defy death by oncoming folks from connecicut. what is with connecticut? these kids were in crosswalks and had to hurl themselves into a row of bushes. i can't wait for the start of the season.
