Cali nostalgia for Norton

Would like to give a shout out to Emperor Norton, a delusional optimist who lived a real-life don Quixote life in San Francisco in 1880.

A third of the city population at the time came to the streets to celebrate the self-proclaimed "Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico," after he died. It's a nice story that glory is in the eye of the beholder - and that living your own dream can have a major ripple effect on the people around you :) Grateful for all my kooky friends who inspire me every day....  keep it up mi gente!
