May Day

Thanks for being so beautiful California. As parts of America deal with inclement weather, we out here, along this stretch of the Pacific, are embracing the glorious sunshine and perfect days of Sonoma County. I recommend visiting... now, or sooner rather than later. Quality of life can dictate our lives as emotional beings. I for one feel blessed to live in such a naturally diverse place with a superb climate.

It's time for us all to indulge in that which is spring. Camping, ball games, road trips, festivals and debauchery are all par for the warm weather course. Dust off your gear and ramp up your outdoor outings. If you're able to partake, there's a plethora of bay area/northern California happenings.

So, with Mr. Salty being the ambassador of all things radical, here's a little rundown of what's going down...

Up in Boonville this weekend there's the legendary beer festival. Next weekend Napa plays host to their very own four-day music fest with the inaugural bottle rock aiming to please. The following weekend, San Francisco runs wild with the yearly ritual, bay to breakers. On the last weekend in May there's the strawberry festival, which borders the epic wilderness of Yosemite for an extended weekend. "I highly recommend doing any one of the above."     - Mr. Salty

So, with a little bit of energy and some additional resources, anyone can go out and enjoy a social event. If larger crowds aren't your thing, I understand. Maybe a nice bike ride, a pair of baseball mitts, some gardening or a relaxing day at the nearest beach calls to you. No matter what your preference is, get outside and enjoy your surroundings. Remember when your parents would say, go play outside? They were right. Go on, get outside and soak up some sun.
