We sat stuck in traffic, driving slowly when we noticed this girl. Thin build, wearing a big tank top and long skirt with flip flops. She carried a big dirty purse and a bottle of Coke. She was walking about the same pace the car was moving, so we watched her as we drove along, debating whether she was in style or homeless. We followed next to her for six blocks trying to figure out if she was putting things in garbage cans or taking stuff out. We never came to a conclusion other than "hip" and "hobo" might actually be synonymous.
