FarmVille player goes to the Farmers' Market

For fun and diversion, I play FarmVille on Facebook.   Too much, some in my family say.  I got hooked on it and now I have all these neighbors who depend on me, so I can't quit now!  But, there are real farmers out there and some come all the way up the hill each Sunday to sell their wares.  The Farmers' Market in Torrance is bigger and is open twice a week, on Tuesdays AND Saturdays, but the Sunday Farmers' Market at the Peninsula Center is much more convenient. 

Lots of good fruit from which to choose!

Yummy eggplant!

When my son is with me, our first stop is usually this corner.  He wants kettle corn and a snow cone, rainbow flavor.

I had to include this shot.  This trailer pulled up to one of the two corner stations a little before 1 p.m., when the market closes.  I didn't stick around to see whether the driver packed up the kettle corn equipment or the items in the snow cone booth.  But, seeing this trailer answered my question about what this trailer might be carrying.  I have it seen it several times around PV, a couple of times heading up Hawthorne Blvd.  By "up" I mean south, up the hill, not north.  I now assume that the driver was returning from another Farmer's Market, maybe the Torrance market.

The gentleman with the accordion is another fixture at this Farmers' Market.  He's usually seen with a banjo, solo, but this time he had company.  I've see him in San Pedro at Ports o' Call and in front of the Warner Grand, too.  I don't know his name, but I'll find out next time and report back.  He's worth a listen.

My friend Hans, a fellow member of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Democratic Club, staffs our club table at the market.  This young man was inquiring about opportunities to get involved.  Great to see young people interested in politics. 

I did not include a shot of the table next to Hans'.  It is staffed by local Republicans.  Sometimes I stop by their table to pick up their literature.  I just need to see what they're saying.

Hans has prepared lots of material on George Lakoff, spreading his message of proper framing of issues.  If you get a chance, stop by and visit Hans.  It drives the Republicans crazy when he gets attention.  But, don't bring your dog.
