Hello gang. Here I am on Open Mike's old hippie commune. I ended up in California by mistake (thought I was getting on a bus to Las Vegas, but landed in Los Angeles instead) and came up north to see OM before winter descends.

It's been a great time here trading songs and having new experiences: salmon-watching, newt-catching, Paltalking, CD-recording, trench-digging, woodstove-using, and going in the back of the library just as if I was a real librarian. We have gone to one house concert and plan on another tonight, after having a sauna.

Then later tonight it's back on the bus for a few more days of wandering, then to Denver to see Mudcatter Rex (if I can find it, that is. Maybe I'll end up in Dunsmuir or something.)

Love, Marion (Concow, California)
