@RizomaSchool I ran across @intractablelion— lovely man—at the Murphys farmer's market, but minutes away from Arnold, this past summer. Twitter smiles. He was kind enough to chase me down on my way back to the car, with a gift. I saved it to celebrate completion of my Cali adventure. My amen.
That's a birthday ledger. 5,000 vegetable transplants out the door to support a Pescadero-based Islamic farm project; then, at dusk, local-beef burgers and a long-saved artisanal cider gifted by @IntractableLion, the hyperlocal cider-maker himself. Labor to feast, lips to praise.
