GR33TINGZ: I'm Prime Anarchist, It's almost midnite,
|
|
the 22nd of December; and here's some Activist Times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PAC-GL: the Prime Anarchist Column Goes Long
|
|
|
|
I shopped at Caldor the other day.
|
|
I bought three things; all from different departments.
|
|
I always like giving Caldor my money even though the
|
|
original owners sold it many years ago; back in the 80's I'm told.
|
|
Carl and Deloris Bennet live comfortably somewhere in Connecticut.
|
|
One of the managers at the Norwich store tells me they're doing
|
|
well, and last he knew they had a house in Fairfield.
|
|
Once when I was young I went to the Groton Caldor wearing
|
|
a shirt and tie; and I filled out a job application. Those were
|
|
the days when you didn't need a resume for a minimum wage job.
|
|
But a tie almost always assured you a "shoe in."
|
|
I honestly don't know if it was a manager or an owner
|
|
who took my application, but she directed me into her office
|
|
saying it just happened to be a slow moment and if I was willing
|
|
she could interview me right away. She offered me coffee and I
|
|
obliged. I honestly didn't know how I liked coffee yet, so I
|
|
asked for it "with everything."
|
|
All went well with the interview until she got to the line
|
|
about my date of birth. Yes it was my 14th birthday. She wished
|
|
me a happy birthday and explained to me that by law she couldn't
|
|
hire me for another two years.
|
|
She said I was a very nice charming determined young man, and
|
|
that she was certain I would do quite well for myself in all of
|
|
life. If I came back in a few years, I had her word that she
|
|
would personally find me a job somewhere within the company.
|
|
I thanked her, shook her hand, and held up my face until
|
|
I left the building and then cried all the way home.
|
|
I never took her up on that job offer two years later as
|
|
I'd ended up working at a local Elks Club that paid twice
|
|
the minimum wage.
|
|
A year later I found out at a family reunion while my father
|
|
was picking on me for what I'll always remember as "that Caldor
|
|
moment," that my grandmother used to buy fruit from Deloris
|
|
Bennet back during the depression. Lots of fruit. My grandmother
|
|
supported my grandfather's two failing clothing stores by
|
|
selling apples in front of factories during shift changes and
|
|
breaks. Her philosophy was, "If they can't afford anything else,
|
|
they should buy fruit."
|
|
"You actually knew Carl Bennet?" I asked my grandfather.
|
|
"Knew him?" he said. "I helped him open the clothing
|
|
departments to all his stores years ago. All the Caldor's
|
|
AND all the Bradlees."
|
|
When my grandfather sold his three clothing stores back
|
|
in the 70's, you could say he went on to live and die comfortably
|
|
in Pawtucket and Warwick, Rhode Island. I'll never forget when my
|
|
9th grade prom was coming up and my grandfather looked me up and
|
|
down and said "38 short." No tape measure or anything. My grandfather
|
|
still "had it." That was long after he'd sold off his stores. One
|
|
became a chain of "Gentleman's Wearhouses," and the others are
|
|
still in Warwick and Providence run by children of some of his
|
|
original partners.
|
|
My dad took me to Anderson Little to outfit me for a really
|
|
cool tan cord 3-piece suit. "36 medium," the salesman said measuring
|
|
me with tape. He tried a few suits on me and they looked almost right
|
|
in the mirror, but never felt right. "Let's try a 38 short, the man
|
|
suggested. I smiled politely and waited for the magic to happen. I
|
|
never wore that suit to another prom, but it got me into a whole bunch
|
|
of homecomings, and years later I wore the vest in 3 different rock
|
|
and roll bands as part of my "duds."
|
|
I thought of all these things on my way home from Caldor that day.

Hi, My name is Christy and I just read what you

had written in a newsgroup. Want to work together

Hey, check it out.
|
|
Take something someone's written you and
|
|
count how many times they use the following words:
|
|
TopWords : people (63), that's (45), should (40)!
|
|
Count some of the other words and see if these three
|
|
aren't in the top.

A guard was stationed right in front
|
|
of that cell and was ordered never to
|
|
take his eyes off me, not for an instant,
|
|
and he didn't - though I swear he must have
|
|
gone cross-eyed looking at me every time I took
|
|
a crap or peed. For a while I tried looking back
|
|
at him the same unflinching way he was looking at
|
|
me until his face grew red, his nose twitched, and
|
|
he raised a beefy arm with a trembling clenched fist,
|
|
his eyes more fearful and pleading than murderous. I half
|
|
smiled, shrugged, and looked away. We both new that I had him
|
|
just as much as he had me. We were both prisoners, that guard and me.
