Washer and dryer

An older black man gets on the train in Edison. Hawaian shirt, white straw hat and cane. Tells friend on the phone of his excitement at getting an apartment for $1155 (on pretax income of $2600) and tells her with great and genuine feeling that it has a washer and dryer. I mean, he was deeply moved, as if he had spent many years going to the laundromat.

Meanwhile, an attractive hispanic woman across the way getting who is getting a degree in fashion merchandising with an focus on footware gets a suitable interview on her cell phone. She was also pretty stoked.

So the economy keeps chugging along, and little by little some people figure things out.
