Peg House



The Peg House is not far north of Leggett on Highway 101. Along with Homemade Cookies they offer seeds to grow your own pot, ashtrays to douse your flame, and necklaces to show off your use. A woman behind the counter moved slow and dreamily. It took her two minutes to ring up a $1.59 purchase and two more to change a $5 bill. Finally, her partner behind the counter asked if she wanted her to take over. Offer accepted. Outside was an out-of-service police car, more or less permanently parked. Inside was the male cousin of the cafe clerk.
