Thanks for the heads-up, Millennium. I'm bummed I missed the Downtown Ojai Elephant Parade. I hear it was a great event.

Traffic-remedy, like bicycling, raw food, etc. are no-brainers -- naturals for a place like Ojai which has some inbuilt/inherent (if not intentional) awareness of quiet, spirit, nature, family and community.

Simple to acknowledge that we do NOT want the reckless drunk drivers, the loud and fast and insensitive delivery truckers, or the contractor trucks who run our children and bicyclists off the road.

Easy enough, in a community of respect, to limit traffic speeds, to install road-bumps, to make bicycle lanes, to put signs in road-center informing all tourists and sugar-addicts to go slow and give way to the pedestrians and cyclestrians ...

to view their visit to Ojai as not a rape and pillage mission but rather a day in the country, a day of celebration, a day of awakening to artistry and divine nature.

This enhances ALL the values that one could put on our economy -- whether cash or spirit, goods or family, quantity or quality.

For all our sacred relations,
