hey...you're a hippie, aren't you?
One last market story...as related by Cara (as I remember it):
Cara was sitting there at her booth reading a copy of Mother Earth news, when a nearby vendor said to her, "Mother Earth News! I haven't seen a copy of that in a long time."
She paused, deep in thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Hey...you're a hippie, aren't you?"
Cara smirked confidently, "Well, what do you consider a hippie?"
The woman thought hard again. "Have you worn tie die in the past week?"
Cara was currently wearing tie die long johns. "Yes," she said, "yes I have."
"Do you have a VW bus?"
"Yes. Yes I do."
"Is it broken down?"
"Yes. Yes it is."
The woman gave a little nod of her head, "I thought so."
