Retro and retrogrades

You know you've lived in Sebastopol a long time when you can listen to a conversation that ties together laundry and karma and you are not fazed by this.

A shopper at Milk and Honey to her fellow shopper:  "Well, she's not the hippie-clothes, yoga pants type.  And she doesn't like the retro look, either.  I'm not sure we can find anything on Main Street for her."
Fellow shopper:  "Does Rite-Aid carry clothes?"
"I'm not sure, but that may be our only hope."

Facebook remark from my sister, in a commentary about yerba mate:
"Imagining my life without EmpowerMint (which, by the way has 'evolved' because it's new name is 'EnlightenMint') ..."

My sister has also devised a new game in the neighborhood near downtown where she resides, How many Buddha statues can one count on an evening walk?  (One evening she counted seven.)

In line at Community Market:
"Is Mercury in retrograde?  How do you find that out?"
"You can look it up on the internet.  Although I usually find out about it standing in line here or at Whole Foods."

A woman was complaining about her infrared sauna not working.  She was quite emotional and went on about it, this being an overwhelming problem in her life.  After she left, an acquaintance of mine noted:  "Well, there are third world problems, and first world problems.  And then there are Sebastopol problems."

"Mercury Retrograde Body Mitten"
And if you missed this circulating during the last mercury in retrograde, it is hilarious!  (I am especially fond of the unicorn hair marinated in lavender oil.)
