Firewood cost up again this week. That big film people are clapping for — all that money burning on screen, I think what it could buy for my smoker. One scene with those fancy cars cost more than my stall earns in a year. Last evening, while I was adjusting my FM radio to catch the news, I saw a government officer park his new SUV outside my stall. He ate two skewers, said the taste is still the same from old days. I gave him extra chutney. Some things you don't measure in money, but the price of firewood is making me measure everything else.
