Polish Hippies

Polish hippies you ask? It's not what you think..Allow me to explain...

I am staying in Watsonville, CA visiting family this week. The other day we decided to go shopping on Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz.

Pacific Avenue is nice, I quite liked it actually, even though its a cross between Williamsburg and Park Slope (read = hipster douchebags and yuppies.) However they also have hippies.

Apparently said hippies run the politics in this area and they are fucking ass backwards in their ways...

Case in point #1:

There is no smoking on Pacific. At all. It is a $150 fine if you are caught. However, if you are homeless feel free to take a piss or shit wherever you like. They have no issues with vagrants or as people like to call them here - grubs. God forbid you want to light up a cigarette though, they will take you down like a suicide bomber.

Interestingly enough, the smell of smoke passes with the wind, the smell of piss and/or shit pretty much lasts until 3-4 washings with bleach.

Case in point #2:

There is no bike riding or skateboarding on Pacific as well. If you are caught riding either you will be forced to get off the street or walk either vehicle the rest of the way. Though feel free to drive around or idle for 15 minutes in your gas guzzling 12 passenger Escalade or Hummer spewing out carbon monoxide into the atmosphere tearing open the ozone layer even more.

I was under the impression that California was an green state. That they would in fact prefer you to ride a bike or skateboard as opposed to a car as this is friendly to the environment. What makes this story even more mind blowing is that these people are hippies...last I knew hippies were all about mother earth and saving the planet.

Maybe the ones here just smoke too much weed to remember that.
