Friday afternoon, I sat at Blue Phoenix in the afternoon by myself. The cafe was closed, but the market was still open. Arriving at around 3:30, I was surprised to be the only person sitting down. I could count the number of people on one hand who walked in. I watched eagerly as my professor from last semester came in to buy a bagel and two chocolate croissants. As I sat and snacked on my dark chocolate coconut treats, I couldn't help but notice the tranquil atmosphere throughout the store. The owners, husband and wife, who I did not realize were married until Friday, chatted eagerly about the store as well as loyal customers, making sure they had come in and received what they needed. The ambiance was warm, and the air was filled with sounds of alternative folk music, the washing of dishes and pans, and cars whooshing past the window. I am eager to sit this week, at different hours of the day, the feeling and energy throughout the marketplace.
We have been doing some research in terms of the wheels/tires we will use for our storage bench. We are looking at both the environmental affects, durability, and ability of the tires/wheels to work in the mud. After seeing the tires (from a tricycle) that we had planned to use, does anyone have any input? Peter thinks that the current tires will be perfectly fine and we had planned not to buy any of our materials, but if we can't use these wheels we will have to buy bigger, more durable tires. However, this will effect the height of our bench and therefore, may delay our progress.
