I think of "hippie" as an adjective with rather positive connotations, but I suppose it doesn't imply that a store is efficient or businesslike.
As for the brown mustard seed, I use small amounts of it in all sorts of savory foods that might be at risk of being a little boring. It adds depth without sweetness or smokiness. It's not as sharply hot as the yellow mustard powder.
I also regret that another of the trees in your park has fallen over. When you told me about the plan to plant 1,000,000 trees in your city, I thought of it as a sweetly noncontroversial idea to improve the environment. That was before I talked with some people waiting for a Lowell Regional Transit Authority bus. They sounded *angry* that the city of Lowell planned to plant trees. one person: "Who do they think they are, putting trees out next to the highway?" another: "They're just going to get sawed off before the end of the year." a third: "End of the year? Hah. They won't even last to the end of the summer."
