Shorter days

I am out on the Square in Arcata, 5 pm for the 5 demands. The week has been hectic but thanks to the ladies of Hands On I am still mobile. There are some young travelers jamming on their guitars while a drunken pirate wench yells for her dollar. This Pirate looks at forty from the wrong side. The soup guys are here serving up a warmth that is more then the mere filling of bellies. The vibe is better than it has been in weeks. Men in Rabbit and Wolf costumes bum smokes and love breaks down in the corner of the square. I am sorry my comrade did not come along as good days come too few sometimes.
