You know how you go for a walk in Ragle park, and you come around a bend and there are two women trying on renaissance clothes? Attempting to pick out which ones will look the best in a picture. And then twenty minutes later, in a different area of the park, you see two boys dueling with toy swords. One is wearing a feudal outfit. You think, somehow these two incidents must be related. But it turns out they are not.
An email from a reader:
"Only in Sebastopol would you see fliers for math tutors that are kind and supportive."
Outside Pacific Market I saw some girls selling Girl Scout cookies. One was talking/shouting about different kinds of cookies, and then suddenly started doing the "gluten-free dance" as she called it. I asked the adult behind her if there were, in fact, gluten-free cookies now. She shook her head. "No, lots of gluten and lots of sugar still." Slightly shrugging her shoulders she pointed to the girl who was continuing to boogie. "I have no idea what this is about."
A fellow yoga classmate has just moved back to Sebastopol after living in Fresno for a number of years. She was telling us the things that happen here that would never happen in Fresno: for example, the sheer number of places you can buy fermented beverages around town - this does not exist in Fresno.
A customer behind me in line at Whole Foods disclosed she got a speeding ticket earlier that day. She ended up telling us that she wasn't that bothered by it. "I'm not upset, I don't know why. Maybe it's total denial, or maybe the meditation CDs I've been listening to are working."
"I know she parked in this parking lot. Hers is the one with the Zoroaster Temple bumper sticker on it."
And the most Sebastopol bumper sticker of the week:
I LOVE LOVE
My four year-old niece: "Aunt Cami, why don't you have a Prius?"
"Slice of Life has changed some, it's different owners. The menu is new and improved. And they remodeled inside."
"Yeah, it doesn't look so west county ghetto any more."
