KGW News is reporting that a salesperson at the popular store The Meadow on North Mississippi Avenue was robbed by a man and a 10-year-old boy. According to the report, the duo entered the store at about 6:30pm Saturday. While the man pinned the woman down, holding her arms and mouth, the boy went around the counter and stole an undisclosed amount of cash. The sales clerk was not hurt.
The Meadow, with a branch in Portland and in New York City, is known for its large selection of salts, along with chocolates, wine, flowers, etc. Strange place to rob.
I wish them the best. You can read more details here.
When I read stories like this, I have to wonder what the hell is going on in the world.

Sadly, this piece somehow fits together with the 60 Minutes showing tonight of the story where a 10-year-old son took a gun and killed his abusive Nazi-loving dad. When you way you wonder what is going on the world, it seems to involve an ever deeper loss of innocence, reaching ever farther into childhood. To me, that’s sad. It is nice to believe in at least some little corner of youth and innocence. Apparently the modern world doesn’t have room for it.
