The Woo-Woo Event!
Today, I attended the Woo-Woo Event!  I'm not making this up!  It was smaller than I expected, but it was still interesting.  At the first vendor I stopped at, I bought another hematite ring . . . the last one that I bought while I was in San Diego, Chaco ate it when he bit me that time!  I walked around looking at crystals, and spiritual books, and seeing palmistry and psychics offering their services.  I met one gray-bearded, attractive gentleman who was interesting, but when he stepped closer, I realized he was in his thirties.  It's so difficult to tell how old men are!
The interesting thing about this guy, though, was that he also said he didn't plan to come to Durango, but the universe led him here.  

Editor's note after the fact:  I read a brochure from another person at the Woo-Woo Event, and she also said that the universe led her here.  This scares me!  Because the universe definitely led me here . . . I never had any intention of ever moving back to Durango.  Scary.

I looked at this one mat kinda thing that was made from amethyst.  It was pretty cool, and when I sat on it, I did feel a tingling all over my body.  It was supposed to improve circulation, cure high blood pressure, cure all illnesses, and even protect you against cell phones!  I would've considered it, but it was $500 for just a small one!  Another time, maybe.

What I found most incongruent about the event was the food vendor that they chose . . . they served hot dogs!  These are supposed to be spiritual, aware people and they didn't even offer any vegetarian food!  Well, except grilled cheese, but that hardly counts.  I left and had a slice of pizza.  There is nothing more spiritual than that!!

While I waited for the pizza, I walked around the little shopping area, and what did I find?  A head shop!  I walked in, looked around and told the guy that I hadn't been in a head shop for about forty years.  He said it was about time!  I told him the ones I had been in had a back room with black light and light shows.  He pointed to his back room!  What a flash from the past that was!  BTW, I didn't buy anything!

Back at home, I played with the puppies, and one of them fell asleep in my lap.  Then another one breathed his wonderful puppy breath on me, while he tried to kiss my chin.  I let him.  They are all so cute, and I'm trying so hard not to fall in love with all of them!
