    So I had a cosmopolitan today and it came with a plastic cocktail straw. should have seen that one coming.  It seams we almost have a symbiotic relationship with the the stuff. Small Dakine, but for the most part I've been successful today. used glass jars to get laundry soap and curried pistachios.

    After my eyes adjusted to the natural light, objects became more clear and vibrant. I could hear more distant sound. I could smell the dank and earthiness of the bio-swell. I felt the mildly smooth surface of a very large basalt rock placed unnaturally in the riparian area just off the pavement of the parking lot.......... Fascinating.

    Shoping with zero plastics in mind is very revealing of the limited options available. What was uplifting was joining a food coop (People's ) and I can get bulk tofu,bring your own container,local artisan bread in a paper bag.Peace out and good luck with your chalengrs.
