Thompson twin parties

From Alice who sent an employment ad for a West Sonoma County church:
"Potential employees must have a sincere interest in candle magic, intentional prayer, folk magic, folk art, folk lore, and herbology, and must be willing to take on all manner of assignments as flexible team players."
The ad is titled Smallest Church in the World/Office/Candle Services.  (Which made me think of Milk and Honey.  If any small business were to have a Candle Services department, it should really be them!)
Alice also mentioned a Sebastopol moment she had:  "I was in the square a couple of years ago and asked some white dreadlocked dude for 'a light.'  He said, immediately and totally seriously, 'Jah is the light.  What you seek is fire.'"

After my last post, a woman told me about a Saturday in Ragle park a summer or two ago:
Essentially, it was a very crowded weekend with lots of soccer games and parties going on.  Her daughter's birthday party was situated between two other events.  One was a "very trendy hipster" family that talked a lot about organic food, raw cacao and which festivals had the best clothes.  The other was a Christian summer camp-like group that sang a lot of songs (which was how she knew it was Christian).  The funny thing being that apparently the name at the entrance for both groups was Thompson, so families kept getting sent to the wrong group.  "It was so funny seeing the looks of confusion as families walked up to either group.  It was me and my husband's entertainment for about an hour.  You could tell by the attire alone if they were walking up to the right party or not." 


Multiple people have commented to me that the Rialto Cinemas now has hummus plates, Mediterranean, Caesar and spring salads in addition to their popcorn.

I was in the parking lot of a grocery store and ended up asking an older couple what their license plate meant.  It turned out it was the name of a business they used to run in Tahoe.  I explained I do a local blog and sometimes include license plates which was why I was asking.  After a few minutes of conversation I realized they didn't understand the explanation about my blog and I'm pretty sure they were under the impression I do a blog solely about license plates.
(Which does not seem too exciting.  "And today I saw another license plate...")
