The heat clustered the 9 of us in the shade again today. A young woman sitting on the bench some 15 feet (more perhaps) away was popping gum with a rhythmic snap that was remarkably loud. She could put that Hollywood stereotype of the slang talking gum chewing waitress into a new context. Her 'talent' inspired a display of ear wagging, tongue twisting, nose wiggling, mouth popping, cheek thumping antics. "We could go on the road!" "Might have to take some time off from the vigil and pile into the (vigil's trademark) VW van."
Another young woman road slowly by on a laden bike; she was clearly a traveler. She paused at the edge of our group. She and a few other "girls" (her self-descriptor) are riding their bikes to San Francisco. They car-pooled from Massachusetts to Cougar, Washington and the Rainbow Gathering. Then started on their bike trip. at that moment she was headed across the street to Browser's Books to find "a good read.
