"Rainbow People/This is what makes life rich!"

Yesterday, I met 4 street performers who were in an impromptu band of sorts.  They had, I'm convinced what was probably the happiest dog on the planet as well.   These young people were all in their early 20's.

their instruments were

accordion
ukulele
2 guitars
a flute

they had gorgeous singing voices!


In addition to the music being so beautiful, this little pup just kind of stole the show, sprawled in the sun  in front of the accordion!  Nearly every passerby, smiled.

One just dropped out of mica college in Baltimore, one grew up in Baltimore, one from Florida and I'm not sure about the other.

The 2 sisters just dropped out of college deciding that you can learn much more about life by travelling.

I said to them "This stuff, this is what makes life rich!"

"Counterculture to the core"

I meet few people who share my views.   One way I learn whether or not other people are thinking the way I think is to google the subject.  There are definitely plenty of others who are pissed like me, that they can't go ANYWHERE without tripping over dogs.

I recently went to an outdoor art expo, where it seemed there were more dogs then humans.  Dogs were scuffling with one another, there was horrible barking, and owners were struggling to keep their dogs from jumping on humans.

One vendor asked me how I was.  I said, I'm pissed that Mountain Town finds a way to ruin everything by allowing dogs.

Much to my pleasure and surprise, here was his response.

"Well, thank god you said it.  Us vendors aren't allowed to express displeasure about this.  Every year at this event, we have dogs pissing on our displays, shitting in the aisles between the booths, and to top it off, EVERY YEAR AT THIS EVENT SOMEONE GETS BIT!"

(Even if there is only one human being who thinks the way I think on an issue, i feel relieved.  It's a sort of validation, don't you think?)
