You've never been to Northern California for long, have you. Heard of Humboldt? other side of these mountains. Most the rural farmers are San Fransisco transplants. There are communities all over the mountains trying live of the land, live in ceremony, and explore their sensual expressions. Our town is more civilized over the last 10 years, group nude message in the upper mountain parking lot is no longer happening. I remember seeing city slicker tourists driving up and totally in shock. That wasn't as long ag0 as the 70's though.

"Yes and cash registers you still had to count the money".

The other day a young person counted out $150 some odd dollars to me as 'one, two, three, four, five'..., instead of 'twenty, forty, sixty, eighty'...

I was so confused, I said, what was that?  He said, 'that's the way I count money'.  Ohmagod!

I macromed a lot of plant holders and bracelets.  Still have the bracelets.
