GOOD VIBES IN NEW PALTZ

Happy New Year everybody. I normally don't do "sentimental" posts, but my errand run into town just now left me feeling compelled to share. There were some good vibes out there. I'm telling you. I was rushing into New Paltz to try to beat the noon New Year's Eve closing time for the post office, just so I could mail my bills. On my way across the flats, I could tell something good was happening. There was a group of like 3 dads and 7 ten-year-old boys, walking along the River-to-Ridge, all taking big strides in the mild weather, with big smiles on their faces. All the kids had matching baseball caps. Maybe a little league team, out for some kind of winter reunion? Who knows, but it was good vibes. Then I got to the post office. I saw a young woman with a big package heading for the door, so I sped up my walking pace to open it for her. But before I could get there, an older woman that had just come out back-tracked and held the door open for both of us. Good vibes. Then I drove up to New Paltz Wines & Spirits, to get some champagne for tonight. Along the way, I saw many groups of people, strolling along Main Street, all just taking it easy and positively exuding happiness and good cheer. Cars along Main Street were letting other cars in left and right, and someone came to a stop and let me pull into the liquor store parking lot, with a wave and a smile. Good vibes all around. When I stepped into the liquor store, there was Lindsay, wearing a spectacularly reflective gold sequin top. She picked out my champagne for me. Ernie and Lindsay and I exchanged hearty "Happy New Years!" salutations, and some of the other patrons did the same. It was definitely good vibes. My last errand was to stop by my building on Church Street to drop off some keys. I pulled into a non-parking-spot and put on my hazards - I was only going to be like 30 seconds. Heading back to my car, I noticed something odd, reflecting in the wind shield. Looked like a rainbow. I figured it was one of those circular "sun dog" rainbows that you sometimes see, tight around the sun. I looked at the sun. No sun dog. Instead, way up in the top of the sky, I saw it: a disembodied winter rainbow smile, hanging over New Paltz. I pointed it out to the only other guy on the street, who was sitting on a guard rail, talking on his phone. He was totally blown away. Really good vibes. Like I said, I'm generally not too sentimental - but seems to me like an auspicious beginning to 2025. Have a great night!
