After hearing about heart-painted garbage and recycling cans, a reader told me about going for a walk one morning during the holidays when it was very crowded downtown. A guy drove past her twice and the second time slowed down and handed her a few bottles to put in a recycling bin nearby. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "There is no place to park."
She reluctantly took them, and as he pulled away he called, "You are helping the earth! Terra firma thanks you!"
Status update, describing a chalk picture of a surfer on the mural across from Whole Foods parking lot:
"A surfer... about as extreme as tagging gets in Sebasto-town."
In the plaza: "I've been eating tofu and kale all day. I've got to get some real protein and something without greens."
Overheard at a new Sebastopol restaurant: "That is a $7 potato."
A local resident saw her neighborhood kids acting out something in the street involving Trump. She couldn't figure out why these children of liberal parents were staging a pretend Trump rally until another neighbor informed her they were actually playing "Trump protestors."
Guy wearing a sandwich board, taking a stand against Sebastopol's bad feng shui:
"CVS EATS CRAP"
A library patron to a librarian: "It probably doesn't help that my user name is Edward Snowden."
At an event a woman asked me and my friend's daughter about the downtown shop Milk and Honey. Both of us used the word "goddessy" in our descriptions.
"What do you mean by 'goddessy?'" she asked.
Me: "Um... you must not be from around here?"
(She was not.)
