Because times are tough, even simple transactions of a farmer's market or garage sale have become grim and businesslike. This woman literally weighed these three tomatoes on her scale. The funny thing was, they're all the same freakin' size. Christ, I was offering more than a quarter apiece. She basically wanted $1 apiece, if they weighed 1.5 pounds.

People are scared and trying to make a buck anywhere they can. It's the same way around here. You should see some of the items for sale in the TN Trader. Two years ago they would have been giving these things away.
