Late as usual, the bus that will take us to the top of Mt. Tamapais leaves at 11:00 a.m. Starr is meeting me at the bus stop. Marin Mountain Play. The Wizard of Oz. The bus is still there, people milling around, cool, there's Starr now.

"The play has been canceled a bomb threat," she says. Get real!! A bomb threat? Only in Marin. Probably a disgruntled Kansas transplant, unhappy with the play's depiction of the scarecrow. Still the crows gather in a flock.
