I was just thinking that I hadn't had any Sebastopol encounters for a while when I overheard a conversation by the deli counter at Community Market. The special for the day was a grilled bacon/tomato/basil sandwich.
Guy to his friend: "I think I might get the special... That sounds good. Oh, I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't be tempting you with a BLT."
Guy #2: "Truthfully I'm not really a vegan. I learned what I am. I'm a negan."
Me stepping closer to them, "I'm sorry, what is a negan?"
Guy #2: "Nearly vegan."
I nodded. "Well, that makes sense."
First guy: "You should put that on a t-shirt. 'NEGAN.' With an asterisk, and in small letters 'vegan except for bacon.'" Then to me, "And actually it's true, he really is a vegan. With the exception of bacon."
Me: "I have a few friends I could get that t-shirt for."
And as a good negan, I did see him order the BLT sandwich with vegan mayonnaise.
Shopper:
"There is a lot of nice jewelry here. But I really want something that doesn't... you know, have an Om sign or the tree of life. I like my jewelry and I like my spiritual life, but I'd just prefer to keep them separate."
Man gazing at flier: "Well, look at that. In Sebastopol there is not just a class on conscious parenting. There is an entire festival."
License plate of the week:
CHAKRA3
(The question being, is this in reference to the third chakra? Or were CHAKRA1 and 2 just already taken?)
