If anything could out earth the Gush, it would be the roadway in front of the library on Labor Day. Bliss misted locals danced to the music between stints volunteering to help make the party happen.
Much finery was for sale at the silent auction inside, and there were apples being crushed in front of the Gospel Flats farm boat down the street at Burnt Park, which is rumored to be getting a new name to better capture the essence of the split logs on dirt ambience recently afforded.
So summer ends and the heat wave just keeps on making the plants grow. It’s the water.

Bolinas FPD Board candidate Gi Holmes kicked off his campaign for a seat on the Fire Board last Sunday. Seen here in Burnt Park, the candidate welcomed voters to the Gospel Flats boat-like farmers market.

The local kale are looking very green this year. The cabbage is very centered.

San Francisco Mime Troupe brought a clear and resounding message to Bobo yesterday. Add a vote generating machine to the new solar powered roof and let’s get some leverage!
Well, they didn’t really say that, but what’s to keep some reds from an idea that seems to work. We could crank up the vote, switch to local power, and stop poking holes in our at least around here un-sprayed mother.
Plenty of sun and fresh air out there at show time. The chickens were committed, the beer was involved and the brownies came with or without. Nuts, with or without NUTS. Some people are allergic. Thanks to the Community Center for putting on the party and to the Mime Troupe for making the trip.

Inquisition was a summer sport. The pope would name the heresy and the boys would decamp outside the walls of some medieval town, building catapults by day, poisoning wells at night.
It all had to be over by harvest time, so peace loving heretics had a chance if they could just wait it out. In the Cathar inquisition, the locals threw fatted pigs over the wall during August, dissuading the inquisitors before the catapult had even been wheeled into place. We have no pope of Bobo, and yet we have our inquisitions.
Camp Denial enjoys a $12 million view of the Seadrift enclave that sits above mean high tide, across the channel, overlooking the aforementioned Botto Beach.
Being somewhat equidistant from the Green Death wall and Smiley’s, tucked unobtrusively into a cove, you’d think the denizens of the love generation would find peace at Camp Denial, except for the occasional oil spill drill or a cleansing high tide.
every dog has a hippie at Camp Denial
Alas, it appears that the old hippies are the new Ricky, encroaching on some faux pope’s franchise. Alas, godless hippies have no pope through which to petition the Lord with prayer, just a tenuous hold on that $12 million view.
Scruffy denizens before being runofft
Given the brouhaha over the recent siege of lower Brighton, you’d think the pope, if there was a pope, would call for an early start to harvest season.
Blackberries are in bloom. Friendly is in. White is the new hat. School starts again in September.
Or as the last hippie standing would advise our papal indulgence seekers, take a hit from the clue bong. The summer is a work in process. You too could have your name on the marquee.
Mother nature had the last at bat in a recent boundary dispute. High tide can put out your fire, and calling in complaints while the deputy is at the camp belies the party line. You can’t deny that.

By his own request some form of Ken Botto launched skyward from the cliff near Angela’s beautiful garden today. Given the wind conditions, perhaps the artistic sensitivities of Seadrift will be affected.
White is the new hat.
Seadrift, home of the new Botto beach? It’s in the wind.

From Camp Denial to Gospel Flats, the town is adjusting itself.
New Bobo has all the charm of old Bobo but with a friendly local. Unfriendly is out. Friendly is in. This proposed sign could welcome visitors.
The rest of the details are still being worked out.

Blue the flute man brought his collection of ceremonial flutes to the courtyard, accompanied on guitar and accompanying the guitar of Todd the former flute maker.
The twin piped peace flute brought transcendence to the gathering, a peaceful spirit and a call to kindness for all.
