wine country, new-age therapy, pseudo-science, pretenses
...
Merci! ??
It's not even the Napa Valley, and people here think it's Bordeaux!
Sprayology?
Obviously requires a B.S. degree...
"Moon Valley" Psychotherapy, huh?
Apparently, Lisa Micheli was excommunicated by the Church of Sprayontology...
well... um...
I think I better not park here...

Sonoma, primal impulses, Historic, California
...
I've never been here before, dispite the fact that I've been in just about every town around the place. I just moved to Glen Ellen yeasterday, which is located just north of here. Both places are located in the Sonoma Valley, which is located in the California Wine Country™, one valley over from the World-Famous Napa Valley (toward the coast). Anyway, I had a pocket full of county bus passes, so I came down on the bus, passing through a couple of towns named after hot springs, and then through a very scenic section of Sonoma (which, as I learned later, is considered the "bad" side of town-- i.e. populated by "brown-skinned" people) before passing a somewhat dismal suburban section (albeit populated by more "fair-skinned" people), and finally arrived at Historic Sonoma Plaza™.
At one side of the Plaza there is Historic Mission San Francisco Solano, and the rest of the plaza is surrounded by other historical lankmarks-- filled with nothing but tourist traps & yuppie wine bars. Absolutely REVOLTING. Balked at the notion of purchasing a $12 burrito, settling instead for a six dollar cheeseburger (no fries). Actually, the whole reason for my sojourn was acting upon the ancient, prehistoric impulse to forage-- in this case, in search of a new source of wireless connectivity to satiate a more recently evolved primal impulse.
Currently in the market for a new digital camera, perhaps capturing images at a slightly higher resolution than the $90 camera-phone that I was using until it was appropriated from my table at a cafe (while I was using the facilities). Pictures should ensue.
