It turns out my masouse (sp?) was an aquantance's mom! We had a nice chat about this and that. She had some insightful things to say about our current economy. She is a trader - she often trades goods and services instead using money. When she found out that I am a cs major and specifically had just taken a class in database, she offered to trade massages for computer help! Awesome - I helped her with a quick fix on her customer/trade database before I left and she'll call me if she needs more help. I love hippies...I secretly want to be one or maybe a punk, maybe a combination - is that possible?
