We happened to run into each other at Starbies- as N1 who works there calls Starbucks- today. I asked him about the earphones but he said he didn't bring them with him because "it would be rude"? I just wanted to try them. And the other day he told me that someone tried putting their key in his door at his apartment and they were talking so what's he do? He gets out his shot gun with two cartridges (?) But the people went away. So today he tells me that he went to Cabela's - a huge sporting goods store; I used to take the kids there when N3 was a baby; they liked the hallway of floor-to-ceiling fish tanks. Anyway, he said he went there and bought a new shot gun! It was "only $200". You know what I think- I think he did come into some money which he told me in passing last week. I'll have to find out! He should buy me something.
