“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." – Mother Teresa

Arcata Plaza During Farmers Market

During Farmers Market the plaza fills up with musicians, jugglers, and entertainers. It was great fun and a chance to see what the locals are all about.

A group of locals form a drumline and circle the plaza lead by a self proclaimed band leader. The children follow the parade dancing and holding flags.



The band leader was enthusiastic and entertaining.

Locals watch a jazz trio. Beautiful music.

Locals. Guy in the yellow shirt has a lovely carved piece of redwood in his ear.


The plaza empties out as soom as the vendors leave.

Warning signs are the result of the Alaska quake in the 60's which caused the tsunami in Crescent City 80 miles north of here. The warning went off when Joey and I were hiking around the nature trails in the marsh area. It was short lived so we decided it was a test. When I got home I heard that Alaska had a 5.9 quake. Maybe the alarm we heard was an almost event they canceled.

I noticed Joey looked just like Caesar on his shirt.

This is the front entrance to Humboldt. The new apartments will be ready next year.
