I don't know about you, but this makes me happy. I've been harping about markets for a long time and how much I love them. Maybe I should try to find one... There is something very Amelie From Montemarte about markets. You get to touch and smell the food before buying. Have you thought about that modern supermarkets fruit and vegtables hardly smell anything at all? Food should be for all senses.

I actually read about this group, Ainu Rebels a couple of month ago and I am delighted that they are keeping it up.

I am tired of only reading bad stuff. There is people out there, good people trying to make a difference. And sometimes they are sucessfull. I will link to articles. To convince myself, and you readers that making an effort is worth it. That there is good people out there. And that not everything is going to hell. Also alot of small sucesses, of small gestures and goodwill goes along way.

This is an article from Vancouver Sun. Seals are cool, seals are cute.
