lucy p is back

a conversation overheard in the store:
Customer Joe Shmoe: Hello Lucy P, what’s that you’re reading?

Lucy P: Popular mechanics -I found it in our magazine section –it’s a special issue on this new technology: computers so small you can hold them in your hands!
CJS:Uh, Lucy? Have you noticed that issue is from 1983? I think it might be a little out of date.
LP: Hmmm., I was kinda confused about how we could have some of these things in our display case here at the thrift store if they had just been invented…
CJS: Yeah, you don’t get out much do you? You’ve got an amazing outfit on today though, I noticed: The black boots, red skirt with tulle underlining...
and polka dot belt, red leather purse with a swallow appliqué, and that black t shirt…I don’t get it though “I am Albert Woodfox”? I thought your name was Lucy. Who’s Albert?
LP: Albert is one of the Angola 3, you can read about the case at http://www.a3grassroots.org/.
CJS: Whoa, very interesting. I can’t believe I can the extent of the one stop shopping: cheap awesome stuff plus information about all kinds of local and global struggles for social justice. Treasure City sure is an amazing place.
LP: Yup, you’re right that I don’t get out much, but really, why would I need to go anywhere else?
