MacD, that kind of public market concept is so appealing, yeah? We have one here among our various farmers markets that is truly exceptional. Might just rank with the best urban renewal projects in all of North America. It is called The Evergreen Brickworks. Free shuttle bus down to its valley location, excellent man-made marsh attached for hiking, kids section extraordinaire, a gardening center and cafe. Lots to like.

MT, would love to get together but unfortunately, all our weekends have been pre-booked with retreats connected to the cult Self Actualization Society that we just joined, The Sylvan Seculate Knowers of the Way.
Weekend One: Radiant Dawn greeting ceremony (ritual blue crystal offerings to the Master and Masteresse).
Weekend Two: Higher Truths and Lucid Voices.
Weekend Three: Star Smiths and the Eternal Flame.
Weekend Four: Perfect Peace Ascendancy (donation of all worldly possessions to the Master and Masteresse)

Gratitude Tom. Weekend lunch @Carp with Garbo for sure.
I am done. the grateful travelerz
