(4 pm. – promoted by ek hornbeck)
I am impressed sometimes with our current crop of youngsters. Wild, beautiful, and damned, tho’ they may be, they seem to know it. I met a western Mass. “hippie chick” at GG Park this morning. I guess the correct descriptive is “vivacious.” Intensely intelligent and charming. Casting herself to the wind. Wanted to sell her paintings on Haight until her gig came thru in October. Didn’t know who Arlo Guthrie wuz, but you wouldn’t blame her if you met her dazzling thrill to be alive. I was merely looking for my old squirrel buddies when I met her. Her smile was contagious, and she almost followed me in my quest for books on North Beach, which the old geezer found touching.
At Original Joe’s yet another cucumber was ripening (oh, my) under the leaves, this time a beautiful secessionist from Burlington, VT. Totally engaging. Enthralling, when you get right down to it. She knew Arlo, actually met the chip off the old block.
The good news is that a lot of the young people get it.
Today was a good day for geezers.

but their attitudes were awesome. It was a rare day to be proud of people.
