Rhapsodies Midnight in Samarkand Technology and isolation at an international hub BY MIKE HARKINS

R

ecently, while waiting between flights at the San Francisco Airport, I found myself sitting at the airport bar, as I normally do, imbibing a Harvey Wallbanger—as I normally do—watching the action on the tarmac, as well as admiring the general strangeness of the surrounding venue. In many ways, this place is a present-day Silk Road outpost, a crossroads and exchange of foreign ideas and peoples. One of the redeeming qualities of waiting in the airport has always been the opportunity to meet different people and have random conversations that go on about random things, in the process gaining a perspective on life I never otherwise probably would get.

How often in your everyday existence, for example, have you encountered some dirt farmer named Joe from Lusk who struck it rich because of the vast petroleum deposits on his land, or a girl named Anemone from the Netherlands who was out of the Old World for the first time, let alone have an actual conversation with them? Some of the strangest conversations I have ever had occurred at airports, yet this veritable mosaic of multicolored views seems to be slowly but surely going the way of the buffalo.

Looking around, I noticed virtually everyone was stoned on some sort of digital opiate—everyday people reduced to the stupor of Haight Street junkies, strung out on the marvels of modern communication devices, chasing dragons on their iPods.

People live for the junk. People constantly have to update where they are, who they are with and what they are doing on the 36 different social media platforms they use, all for approval of their digital minions. People seem more excited about what someone else will say about what happened to them, rather than enjoying the raw insanity of what might actually happen.

After a couple drinks, my flight was called, and I sifted my way through the sea of digital dope fiends, the absence of a stale-piss aroma the only thing assuring me I wasn’t in the Civic Center MUNI station at midnight.

Mike Harkins is a guru of Nuristani shamanic rituals and a leading authority on small hand tools. He currently resides in a fortified compound near Santa Rosa.

Water, Water Everywhere

A big thank you to Rachel Dovey (“Wrung Dry,” May 29). I lived in Guerneville for 25 years, moving to Lucerne in March of ’02. In a burst of insanity, I sold my house in Guerneville and bought this one.

At the time of my move, I was paying $1.17 per Ccf with a continual billing of $41.27 every two months. I now pay $7.79 per Ccf. I began both Lucerne Community Water Organization and FLOW. I found FLOW out of Monterey. They had just taken over their private water company.

I remember back in the early ’80s and Sweetwater Springs in Guerneville.

Armstrong Woods Road was a holdout, and now, sitting across from the Coffee Bazaar, is Cal Water! Additionally, there’s Freezeout Road by the Duncan Mills Bridge. The infrastructure between that site and Casini Ranch is typical of Cal Water. You should see our roads after they actually do any work! I guess Caltrans just repairs it!

Anyway, thanks for the article.

LENNY MATTHEWS Lucerne

I was traveling through Sonoma County a few weeks ago and read this article in the paper. Very well written, on an important issue.

Why don’t the residents being ripped off refuse to pay their water bill, send it to an escrow account managed by an impartial attorney or agency, and do so until these crooks change their billing practices? That would be a lot of power, and I doubt the company would cut off each and everyone’s water. Where are all the county supervisors here?

Just some thoughts rambling up the coast.

RUDY NARENSKY Timberlake, N.C.

My name is Bob Daddi, I am a director of Ojai FLOW. We are in the process of removing our forprofit water company. They have sued to stop an election for a bond that will allow to us purchase and remove them.

Please go to the ojaiflow.com and contact us if we can give you any help. The only answer is to have elected CPUC members, not appointed. Call your senator and assemblyperson and ask for support.

They should have a vested interest.

Better Beavers Beaver value to streams and habitat is becoming better understood (“Beaver Fever,” June 19). Their impact on coho and bird life is just the beginning. Folks interested in learning more about their effect and managing their many challenges should come to Martinez for the sixth annual beaver festival in August.

HEIDI PERRYMAN Martinez

As progressive as California appears, its wildlife policies are antiquated and unfortunate. Glad to see some coverage.

Looking forward to more great stories like this.

Library Hours Great article on library closures (“Long Overdue,” June 19). Thanks for digging deep into what has now become a perennial problem. And who winds up bearing the brunt of the “supes” inaction? We do.

It’s not fair. And their favorite perennial byline, “We have no money,” no longer holds water, since they certainly don’t mind spending money conducting study after study to explore adding fluoride to our Sonoma County water supply—money which would be much better spent on something that so many Sonoma County residents could find

Again, much thanks.

Thank you for providing some insight on why our libraries arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open as much as they used to be. It reminded me of the front-page article in the Press Democrat about the homeless population using the library, and the problems that some of them cause. Their article seemed to demonize the libraries by association, at a time when libraries need advocates.

I know that many staff feel under pressure to not criticize library management or funding for fear of being next in line for cutbacks. Thank you for being their voice.

According to a study released last month by the Sonoma County Economic Development Board, craft brewing now accounts for $123 million in annual economic impact. The study shows a 15 percent increase in craft beer sales nationwide last year versus a 41 percent increase in Sonoma County. The top dog is Lagunitas, which employs 52 percent of the county’s craft-beer industry and produces 73 percent of its beer.

The Russian River Brewing Company’s release of Pliny the Younger, which drew 12,500 attendees in 2013, brought an economic impact of $2.3 million.

Dodging the Grid How to keep your government from spying on you

BY RONALD BAILEY

‘D

oes the [National Security Agency] collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., asked James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing in March. Clapper replied, “No sir . . . not wittingly.”

We now know that was a baldfaced lie. Or as Clapper nicely parsed it later, it was the “least untruthful” statement. The NSA has been collecting telephone and telecommunications data from tens of millions of Americans for years now.

The NSA claims this storehouse of data is never reviewed unless additional information prompts the department to winnow it—for instance, a letter from Russia warning about a couple of Chechens living

in Boston. But it hasn’t worked out that way. Christopher Soghoian, a policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union, likens the situation to having someone tell you that he wants to put a video camera in your bedroom but will not actually look at the stored footage unless something bad happens later.

The NSA is able to obtain information because the dominant internet business model is set up to exchange free services

Who says bookstores are dying?

Certainly not Paul Jaffe, co-owner of Copperfield’s Books, who plans to expand into downtown San Rafael this November. In the Fourth Street building that was slated to house the ill-fated Marin Rocks museum, the first-ever Copperfield’s store in Marin will also include a Taylor Maid Coffee cafe along with occasional author events and a large children’s section. “I’ve been looking around for a location in San Rafael ever since Borders closed,” Jaffe says, “and it’s a beautiful old building with a huge high ceiling.”

So how does an independent bookstore expand in a world of e-readers? Jaffe says the American Booksellers Association has in fact reported a rise in membership, and mentions that the company hasn’t downsized, but “right-sized”—making certain stores more lean to create room for expansion elsewhere.

“San Rafael is the biggest city in Marin County, and it has no general-use bookstore,” Jaffe notes. “With all the changes in the industry in the last 10 years, I didn’t know if there was another bookstore that was going to move in there.”—Gabe Meline

for personal information, which enables targeted advertising.

When I interviewed Soghoian, he suggested that the free market has delivered us into a world that is insecure by default; he also added that the telephone industry has been practicing surveillance for a hundred years already.

Seeking technical steps that citizens might take to shield themselves from electronic snooping by the government, I talked with Mark Wuergler, a senior security researcher at the cybersecurity firm Immunity Inc. “I have bad news for the average citizen,” Wuergler tells me.

In order to avoid monitoring by the government, citizens need to have control over their own hardware, networks and servers, and use encryption ubiquitously.

Currently available methods for trying to maintain data privacy and security are so clunky and complicated, he says, that most Americans will simply not bother.

“It boils down to less convenient, more secure; more convenient, less secure,” Wuergler says. “You just need to assume that your data is being watched.”

Wuergler would know; he devised a program, Stalker, that can siphon off nearly all of your digital information to put together an amazingly complete portrait of your life and find out where you are at all times.

So how can you hide this information?

First, don’t put so much stuff out there in the first place. Use Facebook if you must, but realize you’re making it easy for the government to track and find you when it chooses to.

A second step toward increased privacy is to use a browser search engine like DuckDuckGo, which doesn’t collect the sort of information— your IP address, for one—that can identify you with internet searches. If the government bangs on their doors to find out what you’ve been up to, DuckDuckGo has nothing to hand over.

Third, a Tor relay, used by dissidents and journalists around the world, can shield your location

from prying eyes. Tor operates by bouncing your emails and files around the internet through encrypted relays. Anyone intercepting your message once it exits a Tor relay won’t be able to trace it back to your computer and your physical location.

‘You just need to assume that your data is being watched.’

Fourth, there is encryption. An intriguing one-stop encryption solution is Silent Circle. Developed

by Phil Zimmerman, the inventor of the Pretty Good Privacy encryption system, Silent Circle enables users to encrypt text messages, video, phone calls and emails. Zimmerman and his colleagues claim neither they, nor anyone else, can decrypt messages across their network. This security doesn’t come free; Silent Circle charges $10 per month.

One might also consider encrypting data using free encryption software offered by TrueCrypt. If you keep data in the cloud, you might use SpiderOak, which bills itself as a “zero-knowledge” company, which means it has no way to decrypt the data you store with it. However, SpiderOak will provide personally identifiable information about users to law enforcement if required to do so by law. The company offers two gigabytes of free storage for beginners.

Now for some bad news: telephone metadata of the sort the NSA acquired from Verizon is impossible to hide. As the ACLU’s Soghoian notes, you can’t violate the laws of physics, and in order to connect your mobile phone, the phone company needs to know where you are located.

For more information on evading government monitoring agencies, check out the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s guide to Surveillance Self-Defense at www.eff.org.

MOBILE MADNESS Bun Slinger fills traditional Chinese bao buns with various chicken, steak, pork or tofu combinations.

You Got Buns, Hon Jeff Tyler’s Bun Slinger, keeping it wheel

F

ive years ago, Jeff Tyler was working as a general contractor with 35 employees when he was blind-sided by the economic downturn. Years of forthcoming contracts dried up, and he was forced to sell his Hummer. Tyler spent the next two years working for other people, including a stint selling MonaVie juice, trying to figure out how to be his own boss again.

Then late one night, as he was

Googling small businesses, an idea struck. “I woke my wife up early the next morning,” Tyler tells me recently, “and told her we were going into the hot dog business.”

If her skepticism was understandable—“She thought I was nuts!”—it was also, it turns out, unfounded. “I parked my cart for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” Tyler says, “and didn’t come home until I sold enough hot dogs to provide for my family.” Within three months, he’d acquired a second hot dog cart, and started Palooza Catering, a mobile catering

BY JESSICA DUR TAYLOR company that now serves everything from paella to barbecue.

Turns out, the leap from Chicago-style hot dog to Chineseinspired pork bun is relatively small. Tyler’s latest wheeled endeavor is the Bun Slinger, a converted taco truck that owes its name to the creative mind of his nine-year-old daughter, Sydney.

Together with Sean Soberg, an out-of-work carpenter he found through his hairdresser, Tyler serves up traditional Chinese bao buns ($3.50 a pop) filled with all manner of locally sourced meat, slaw and

aioli. The menu offers a handful of choices: chicken with corn and jalapenos, steak with daikon, pork belly with mustard seed and onion. The requisite tofu option is so popular it sometimes sells out.

A word to the hungry: one bun will whet your appetite; you’ll need two, even three, to get full. For a well-rounded sampling, the Dictator ($15) gives you a choice of three buns served with homemade kimchi and a generous side of garlic or liberally spiced “togarashi” fries.

For Tyler, taste trumps authenticity. Blending accents of Chinese, Korean and Japanese (“togarashi” is Japanese for chili pepper), the loquacious selftaught chef is more inclined to cook with Coca-Cola (his pork belly braise) than, say, fish oil.

His formal training is limited to a couple of classes at the SRJC, which he credits for inspiring him to think outside the (hot dog) bun.

But despite his creative culinary chops—he’s served Pinot, Zinfandel and Chardonnay-infused hot dog flights to great acclaim—Tyler has never worked in a restaurant, nor does he desire to open one.

“I’m too much of a free spirit,” says Tyler, who works when and where (permits withstanding) he wants to. Trafficking in both winecountry posh and business-park casual, the Bun Slinger regularly parks at Sonic.net, the Petaluma Farmer’s Market, Ragle Ranch Park, O’Reilly Media and an impressive fleet of local wineries.

Tyler also enjoys the camaraderie of the mobile-food biz. He shares plenty of pavement, as well as a commercial kitchen, with Dave Musgrave of Fish On! Chips and Gabe Nahas of Awful Falafel. On a recent Wednesday afternoon, the ticket rail finally empty after the Sonic lunch rush, Tyler and Dave bandied between their food trucks, the music cranked loud.

These days, Tyler is glad to have swapped his Hummer and “stupid jacked-up trucks” for the big yellow Bun Slinger. “This truck catches more looks than a Ferrari,” he tells me with a grin. “I’m definitely happier now, driving this thing around.”

When it comes to losing weight, people do a lot of talking—about carbs, Gwyneth’s butt, treadmill desks, etc.

Malene Comes, who has suffered with weight issues her entire life, doesn’t just talk the talk. She also plans to walk the walk—8,873 miles of it.

On July 20, Comes, who weighs 300 pounds, will begin walking south from Bodega Bay, continuing around the entire circumference of the country. When she returns 14 months and 26 states later, she hopes to weigh half that.

Walking against traffic on the smallest possible highways, Comes will push all of her gear in a sturdy jogging stroller, camping and couch-surfing her way south, east, north and west. To fund her trip, she is raising money for the nonprofit LiveFit Revolution, which, after paying her expenses, will devote all the remaining proceeds to empowering other obese people in their quest to lose weight.

“Obesity is a painful medical condition,” Comes says, “that is made so much worse by the discrimination we face every single day.”

Her wake-up call came when her biological mother died at the age of 56, weighing 450 pounds. “I’m 41,” Comes tells me over the phone, “and in 15 years I don’t want to wind up like that.”

To donate, trace the route, or find out more about Comes’ trip, see www.traveltheunitedstates.wordpress.com.

SHED Fermentation Bar A clean, well-lit place, teeming with bacteria (the good kind)

BY JAMES KNIGHT

W

hat was it that food scribe Michael Pollan told us we should be doing in his most recent dietary dictum? “Drink weird stuff, mostly fermented, not too much”? Here’s the place to get started on that.

It doesn’t seem so long ago that the very notion of a “fermentation bar” would have sounded lavishly precious, possibly poisonous. In Portland, Ore., in the 1990s, my latter-day hippie neighbor showed off the exotic, glistening bacterial monster he kept in a jar in his kitchen. He said it was a “mother,” and that it would divide and multiply, like a hairless tribble. Was it . . . moving?

It seemed vaguely risky to drink the brew in which it stewed.

Yet today, kombucha is so mainstream that Healdsburg tourists drift off the street and order it up on tap ($4)—made by Windsor’s Revive—with nonchalance.

If anyone has questions, bar manager Jordan Lancer (pictured) is there to answer them. Good thing, too, since the gleaming taps behind him are not topped with readable logos, instead being minimalistically labeled with stamped-tin dog tags. Lancer, an avid fermenter, has his own crock of kombucha secreted away on the modular shelves that line the walls.

At SHED, which is billed as a “modern grange,” the dream of the 1890s is alive, too. One may stock up on provisions at the “larder,” shop for a hand-tooled spade and catch up with neighbors over a refreshing beverage whose popularity only lately reversed a century-long waning, all in a light-filled space that feels as if you’ve stepped into a Sunset magazine spread. A new awning makes the small deck overlooking Foss Creek the spot to be.

SHED Shrubs ($4) are sweetened vinegars—haymaker’s punch—like lemon rice wine and purple sage champagne vinegars, topped with soda water. Popular with workers “coming off the fields” over the centuries, they’re nonalcoholic, as is creamy, nondairy kefir from Sebastopol’s Kefiry ($4). Think of dry hard cider ($5) from Murray’s Cyder of Petaluma as a European-style “sidra,” and you may enjoy its funky phenols all the more. Available by the bottle, Heidrun Meadery’s Sage Blossom mead ($25) is a noseful of decayed summertime, with a cidery, clean finish.

Happy hour bites like deviled eggs, cheese platters and pizzas are available; beyond the taps, there are beekeeping kits, pith helmets and the swaying branches of an old walnut tree to stare at while socking away a big 20-ounce pour of Calicraft Buzzerkeley ($7)—no game screen here. Just drink local brews, not too much, and keep away from the sharp harvesting implements.

SHED, 25 North St., Healdsburg. Open daily, 7am–7pm.

Lost & Found Rebecca Solnit pulls together life’s loose threads in ‘The Faraway Nearby’ BY LEILANI CLARK

T

he National Gallery of Iceland sits at the eastern shore of Tjörnin lake in Reykjavík’s city center, overlooking both a modern city hall and the centuries-old Hólavallagardur cemetery.

In late June, bright sunlight reflects off the surface of Tjörnin for 21 full hours every day, from 3am to midnight.

But in 2008, a young Icelandic artist named Elín Hansdóttir built a labyrinth inside of the National Gallery, almost completely dark within. Path, made up of a series of panels set in a zigzag pattern, offered one person at a time the immersive challenge of finding his or her way back to the beginning.

Sometimes, guides would have to go into the darkness and rescue visitors who had lost their bearings.

It was an exhibit that San Francisco writer Rebecca Solnit returned to again and again during her months as an international resident at the Library of Water, 70 miles from Iceland’s capital, Reykjavík.

Solnit looked to the labyrinth as a narrative toolbox for her latest book, The Faraway Nearby, she says over coffee and bread at a cafe on the downtown Sausalito waterfront. “A lot of books have these linear routes, like highways, let’s get from here to there,” she says. “I wasn’t in a rush to get from here to there.” Solnit appears June 30 at the New School and Commonweal in Bolinas and July 2 at Copperfield’s Books in Petaluma.

A lover of works like Tristram Shandy, the 18thcentury novel where the narrator announces he’s going to tell his life story and then digresses to such an extent that he’s not born until halfway through the book, Solnit set out to create a work of “circuitous routes and byways” in The Faraway Nearby. In one respect, the book tells the story of her mother’s

W

e’ve met on Sunday morning near the rowing club where Solnit takes to the bay on a sleek, white scull three times a week.

Today, she’s decided against going out, on account of the strong, cold wind blowing across the water, and it’s appropriate that the strange June weather has created a steelcolored sky, similar to what Solnit might have seen during her stay in Iceland—one of those symmetries that’s present in so much her work.

Wearing a gray, fitted blouse over a black skirt, Solnit’s appearance mirrors the dependable elegance of her sentences, whether she’s writing about Google buses driving through San Francisco—with their darkened windows and screen-immersed tech workers—or migratory birds flying to the Arctic from all over the world.

She talks of exhaustion after this particular book tour, where she’s answered too many questions about a conflicted relationship with her mother, but it doesn’t show on her face, which glows with health underneath her long, blonde-gray hair.

Throughout her career, Solnit has turned out more than 13 books and an impressive list of essays, including “Men Explain Things to Me,” wherein she coined the term “mansplaining.”

In February of this year, Solnit contributed a piece to the London Review of Books taking on Google’s private buses and the erasure of the working class and creative communities in San Francisco as the city becomes a bedroom community for Silicon Valley’s tech elite. Solnit’s love of the city intertwines with a fascination with maps in 2010’s ambitious Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas; in one example, a map of San Francisco interposes murder sites with locations of Cypress trees. (A New Orleans sequel to Infinite City, titled Unfathomable City: A New Orleans Atlas, comes out this fall.)

Now in her early 50s, and a graduate of UC Berkeley’s journalism school, Solnit has written about visual arts, politics and the West Coast since 1988; she shares space with other California writers like Mike Davis and Joan Didion, those willing to take on the Golden State as a complex and serious topic of inquiry rather than a place of kooky mysticism, Hollywood superficialities and gridlock. River of Shadows, an examination of photographer Eadweard Muybridge and his groundbreaking experiments

with stop-motion photography, earned her a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Lannan Literary Award and the National Books Critics Circle Award in criticism.

Solnit approaches the interaction between humans and the natural world—its puzzles, connections and symmetries— with a blend of precision and childlike wonder. That might stem from her early years as a child growing up in a northernmost subdivision of Novato.

“It was not a particularly encouraging suburb, but there were wonderful things,” says Solnit. “A lot of kids on the block never left the asphalt, but my brothers and I were really fascinated by the natural world in different ways, and spent time there. I had fantasies about living like Native Americans, off the land and the plants. The landscape was my one good friend in elementary school.”

Connection forms the literal core of The Faraway Nearby. As Solnit’s close friend, the artist Ann Chamberlain, was dying of breast cancer, she constructed a plaster wall map of topographical reliefs of islands connected by strands of fine red thread, “like flight routes for planes or birds or neural pathways or blood vessels,” writes Solnit. And it’s a young Icelandic man with leukemia, who dies before Solnit has a chance to meet him, who forges the connections leading to her residency.

“That piece [by Ann Chamberlain] is essentially at the exact center of the book,” Solnit says. “The whole book could be conceived of as these islands of stories connected by threads.”

This is the world Solnit reminds us we all live in, the world of “waves and not particles.”

“Maybe that’s my form of mysticism, trying to see these complex patterns of influence, presence and possibility that we’re embedded in—you know, this kind of nonseparation, even when we’re supposed to be alone,” she adds.

Though some have focused on the dysfunctional aspects of

‘The version of self we’ve been given feels really reduced to me.’

Solnit’s relationship with her mother, as documented in the book, she’d rather not dwell in that space for long. Like the piles and pounds of apricots, picked from a tree after her mother’s house is sold and then deposited in Solnit’s living room, their relationship was one of decay and preservation.

“One of the things that’s been really difficult is that I went through this really beautiful seven-year journey with my mother that ended with her death,” Solnit says. “She was many people along the way, to whom I related in various ways, and everything that was difficult about the past was essentially shed in that process.”

J

ust a couple of weeks ago, on her way home from speaking engagements in Europe, Solnit stopped in Reykjavík to visit her friend Frida and found herself repeating the phrase “difficult but not bad.” “Easy” and “comfortable,” she says, are things that Americans have grown not only to desire but to expect. But, as Solnit touches on throughout The Faraway Nearby, death, pain, illness, aging and suffering are not exceptions in life; they are the rule—for everyone, not just the unlucky. And they just might lead a person to her ultimate destiny. But it takes a healthy dose of empathy, acceptance and interconnectedness to weather and survive these unskirtable conditions—if we survive them— with grace and dignity.

“I’m not saying ‘Go have a completely uncomfortable and hideous life,’” Solnit explains, “but sometimes you have to go through these things that aren’t so encouraging or aren’t so easy.

Sometimes you have to climb the mountains, and not just walk in the flat places, because that’s taking you to the view you need to see to know where you’re going.”

Rebecca Solnit appears in conversation with Michael Lerner on Sunday, June 30, at the New School at Commonweal (451 Mesa Road, Bolinas; 2pm; free with reservation; www.commonweal. org) and in a reading and discussion on Tuesday, July 2, at Copperfield’s Books in Petaluma (140 Kentucky St., Petaluma; 7pm; free; 707.762.0563).

descent into Alzheimer’s that ended with her death in June 2012, and what Solnit calls her “medical adventure” after precancerous cells were discovered during a routine mammogram.

But these are but two threads on a journey that includes Che Guevara, the Snow Queen, Frankenstein’s monster, Mary Shelley, cannibalistic polar bears, cannibalistic mothers, Icelandic fjords, mountains of apricots, arctic explorers, Baby Jessica, Charlie Musselwhite, invasive surgery, 2.2-pound babies, leper colonies, Burmese monks and boys named after wolves.

“If this was a straight route,” Solnit says, “it would be a really boring memoir of about 10,000 words, about: ‘My mom was really tricky, I got kind of sick but then I went to Iceland, The End,’—which is not that interesting to me, and I don’t think it would be that interesting to other people.”

In fact, the British edition of The Faraway Nearby has been given a hyphenated genre: “memoir/ anti-memoir.” It’s a proposal that came directly from Solnit as part of her desire to articulate a “different sense of self.”

“The version of self we’ve been given, in some ways, by psychology and therapy—that sort of post-40 thing—it feels really reduced to me,” Solnit explains.

“The relationship to the earth itself gives you this depth and breadth and height and range. It gives you a kind of vastness; and then personal is right in the middle of it, and I absolutely value it and it absolutely matters, but to me, it’s like home. You come back to it.

You’re not an agoraphobic who never leaves it.”

The name Chris Garcia might not ring any bells, but it deserves to. Originally from Los Angeles, Garcia moved to San Francisco and has since accumulated an impressive résumé of various festival appearances, such as Outside Lands and SF Sketchfest. He’s also worked alongside Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt and some newcomer named Robin Williams. Garcia is like a triplethreat with comedic skills, writing experience and hunky good looks (the Portland Mercury said this, not me).

Garcia headlines with openers Matt Lieb and Bert Divietri on Friday, June 28, and Saturday, June 29, at Murphy’s Irish Pub. 464 First St. E., Sonoma. $20. Friday, 9pm; Saturday, 7pm and 9:30pm. 707.935.0660.

Reunited and it feels so good: that’s the sentiment shared by the members of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. The band entered the music scene at the height of the American folk revival during the ’60s, and reintroduced some muchneeded fun amid the political protests and societal discord. Founder Jim Kweskin was eventually joined by others, such as Geoff Muldaur, Bill Keith and Maria Muldaur. This “one big happy family” split in 1968, but many of the original members have returned to provide the same fun folk sounds they delivered years ago in a 50th anniversary tour.

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PERSONAL Malcolm Margolinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heyday Books is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;built on friendship,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says.

In His Heyday

Author and publisher Malcolm Margolin comes to Point Reyes BY DANI BURLISON

T

hat spark thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s felt somewhere at the intersection of rebellion and a belief in storytelling as medicine? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the essence of Malcolm Margolin and his independent publishing house, Heyday Books.

A Boston-area transplant, Margolin and his wife headed west in their VW bus in the Summer of Love. After camping and working in Canada, Mexico and the wilds

of 1960s Big Sur, Margolin settled in Berkeley where he founded Heyday in 1974. He appears in a discussion with author Wendy Johnson June 29 in Point Reyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I began by typesetting and designing my own books in my own house with a light table that I made,â&#x20AC;? says Margolin by phone from his Berkeley office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an attempt at self-sufficiency. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to work for anybody because I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold a job. I wanted to create my own world.â&#x20AC;?

The world he created involved authoring several books on California Indians, including

The Ohlone Way, which continues to be required reading in many of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college history classes. Heyday began publishing other writers, from John Steinbeck and William Saroyan to Gary Snyder and Rebecca Solnit. With about 25 new titles each year focusing on Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex and diverse heritage, the stories seldom heard through mainstream publishing outlets have found a platform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These voices seem to come in through the window,â&#x20AC;? Margolin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You open the door in the morning and they rush in and they

all sit around the table, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rid of them.â&#x20AC;?

Despite drastic changes in information sharing over the last four decades, Margolin, now in his 70s, refuses the notion that the world is changing for the worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a way, this whole operation is built on friendship, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built on people that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built on networks of people that like each other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite lovely. I come in in the morning, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the place is still here. I keep expecting a vacant lot with some wheat growing out of it, and that this whole thing was just a big hallucination because I took too much acid in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s.â&#x20AC;?

Forty-year acid trip or not, the spirit of storytelling itself seems to keep Margolinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spark ignited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hang out on a lot of Indian reservations,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and there is a kind of story that gets told thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so slow-moving and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so sensuous and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so connected; it moves in and out of place and it moves through people we know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And,â&#x20AC;? he continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are parts of it that are totally comprehensible and there are parts of it that just break your heart and there are parts of it that are so funny you have to beg somebody to stop. And it just goes on and on and on, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a set piece, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like a professional storyteller with a beginning, middle and end; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this art of talking to people, this art of hanging out on the back porch, this art of being comfortable in somebody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence.â&#x20AC;?

One could say Margolin has made a life of it.

Malcolm Margolin shares stories with Wendy Johnson at a benefit for Heyday on Saturday, June 29, at Tobyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feed Barn. 11250 Hwy. 1, Pt. Reyes Station. Dinner (price includes talk) at 6pm, $100; talk only at 7:30pm, $20. www.pointreyesbooks.com

n the writings of Shakespeare, someone’s always running off to the forest to escape the world.

It’s fitting then, come summer, that so many North Bay culture-seekers should run away to the mountains of Oregon to drink in some of Shakespeare’s enduring poetry.

With the annual June opening of three new shows in the outdoor Elizabethan Theater, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in downtown Ashland now has nine shows up and running, a mix of classics, originals and new twists on old favorites.

Highly recommended are Bill Rauch’s riveting and brutal staging of King Lear (running through Nov. 3), the hip-hop-infused original musical The Unfortunates (through

Nov. 2), August Wilson’s luxurious Two Trains Running (closing July 7), and The Heart of Robin Hood, a nifty new swashbuckler (running through Oct. 12 at the Elizabethan Theatre), which lays on the Pythonesque humor in presenting a gender-bending backstory for the famous English outlaw.

In Lear, two actors—Jack Willis and Michael Winters—alternate performances in the iconic role of the tragically failing monarch, each bringing a different energy and understanding to the part.

As a result, each version feels like its own unique production, with the brilliant cast shifting to accommodate each Lear’s radically divergent interpretation.

The Unfortunates, directed by Shana Cooper, was developed through a series of workshops and late-night sneak peeks. Occasionally baffling, but mesmerizing and deeply moving, The Unfortunates is a theatrical fantasia on the themes and characters from the American blues song “St. James Infirmary Blues.”

Layering in elements from the seminal folk ballad “The Unfortunate Rake,” the musical begins with a group of soldiers waiting for execution, one of whom finds himself transported into the world of the song the soldiers have been singing as they await their fates.

The visuals are gorgeously strange (Tim Burton strange), and the songs combine blues, rap, folk and rock to create a truly original, weirdly satisfying piece of musical theater.

While it is August Wilson’s languorous use of authentic, livedin language that powers Two Trains Running, staged with elegant grace by director Lou Bellamy, it is writer David Farr’s understanding of action and twisty-turny plotting that drives The Heart of Robin Hood, a richly entertaining origin story unfolding on the Elizabethan stage.

Easily the best show of the new outdoor openings, this Robin Hood reframes the myth from the point of view of Maid Marian, who encounters the famous thief when she, true to form, escapes to the woods, where magical things—and great theater— always seem to be happening.

Yep, More Zombies

Brad Pitt rescues more than just his family in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;World War Zâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

his is the way the world endsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not with a bang but with a gobble. Passable but essentially dumb, World War Z, about a zombie apocalypse, has a deceptively global scope. Korea, for instance, is represented simply as a rainy dark airport, while many of the aerial shots of Jerusalem are so synthetic itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like looking at some pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mockup for Sunday school.

The ďŹ nale unfolds in Cardiff, Wales, where the metaphor for civilization destroyed is a milkmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smashed electric truck. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the Father Ted parody of the movie Speed: gape over the end of Western civilization or cry over spilled milk.

Every big zombie movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and World War Z may be big enough to kill the genre for a few yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is an exercise in weird xenobiology.

Here, the zombies go into power-saver mode when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one for them to bite. When human gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afoot, the zombies call to each other like velociraptors; when they charge, they roar so loudly they gobble, like angry turkeys.

Brad Pitt, at least, knows who heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be in the movie: a dropout former hellhole inspector for the United Nations turned stay-at-home suburban Philadelphia dad turned proactive hero. At one point in the ďŹ lm, severely wounded, he manages to go on a long, unlikely walk through zombie-plagued streets to ďŹ nd a laboratory heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been to before. Presumably, GPS survived the invasion.

The ďŹ lm cuts through Newark, South Korea, Israel, but what, exactly, interests director Marc Forsterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that is the puzzler. Mostly, World War Z isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about anything but our stalwartness in the face of zombie attack. The mentions of degraded ecology and the weirdly Michael Crichtonesque monologues about the wanton killing power of nature are ludicrous when addressed to computer-generated hordes rushing around by the millions.

Although the ďŹ lm is about as coherent as a street yammerer, the movie does exist to demonstrate the heroism of Brad Pitt and his willingness to go to the wall to save his semidirected, shoved-off-toone-side and pain-in-the-ass family. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;World War Zâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is in wide release.

T

his week, music legend Marianne Faithfull ďŹ&#x201A;ies out from Paris to take the stage under the trees of Black Oak Ranch at the Kate Wolf Memorial Festival, bringing her nearly 50 years as a recording artist to the tightknit gathering in the woods.

Having experienced the ups of the swinging â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s and the downs of drug addiction and depression, Faithfull has lived a life much more rough-and-tumble than that of the soothing-voiced Wolf, who while living in Sonoma County inďŹ&#x201A;uenced countless singer-songwriters. Yet Faithfull, in her ďŹ rst appearance at the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and only one of two shows in the Bay Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;brings a worldliness that ďŹ ts right in with the annual celebration of Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, now in its 18th year.

After the soulful swing of her

early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Tears Go By,â&#x20AC;?

Faithfull eventually descended into drug addiction; she kicked heroin to make her comeback album Strange Weather in 1986, the same year Wolf died of leukemia.

Faithfullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ventures into blues, jazz and cabaret may be musically different than Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;remember Faithfullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cameo on Metallicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memory Remainsâ&#x20AC;??â&#x20AC;&#x201D;but her spirit provides the perfect setup for an evening in the forest.

The three-day festival itself is much like the experimental journey that Faithfull went through. Every year, fans make the annual pilgrimage north to the woods of Black Oak Ranch to relax, jam with friends old and new, dance and listen to great music.

What started as a small event in Sebastopol has only gotten bigger after moving north. According to promoter Cloud Moss of Cumulus Productions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a strong base of support in Sonoma County that followed it up there.â&#x20AC;?

Headliners this year include AngĂŠlique Kidjo, Irma Thomas, Madeleine Peyroux and the Rebirth Brass Band, as well as returnees like John Prine, Iris DeMent, Greg Brown, Dave Alvin and many others. (Of special note is local band Poor Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whiskey, who released Like a River: A Tribute to Kate Wolf last year.)

On Friday, the front of the Music Bowl performing area is reserved for dancing; the festival also has a jam area and offers jam workshops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we have a ukulele jam circle,â&#x20AC;? Moss says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and every day we have Jamming 101. We have late night jams and dancing.â&#x20AC;?

The festival this year also includes Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband Don Coffin, who participates in a Kate Wolf song-and-story set alongside some of Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other friends, Sherry Austin, Che Greenwood, Wavy Gravy, Alisa Fineman, Kimball Hurd and Hugh Shacklett.

Amid all those she touched, there are sure to be stories of a life well-lived.

The Kate Wolf Music Festival runs Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sunday, June 28â&#x20AC;&#x201C;30, at Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville. For full info, see www.katewolfmusicfestival.com.

Synesthesia Oliver Lake presents jazz multimedia show The lawn at Rodney Strong Vineyards is not a somber place, and yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the annual site of the end of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, when the two weeks of world-class jazz comes to an end.

Except it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really end. Throughout the calendar year, the indefatigable organization presents one-off shows of worthy jazzâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and one of the best, to my mind, was Oliver Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trio 3 raising a holy sound inside the intimate confines of Flying Goat Coffee in 2009.

Lake returns to Healdsburg this week in a unique solo show: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be playing saxophone and flute as well as reciting poetry while surrounded by an art exhibit of his own paintings at the Healdsburg Center for the Arts. Just how much can a guy do with one saxophone? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recordings with the World Saxophone Quartet, you know that the answer is a hell of a lot.

Complementing Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own artwork are pieces by other artists, inspired by the music and life of jazz. Catch the man in action in two shows on Sunday, June 29, at the Healdsburg Center for the Arts. 130 Plaza St., Healdsburg. 7pm and 9pm. $20. 707.433.4633. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Gabe Meline

Mad for Eames ‘Mid-Century Modern’ draws eyes at the Schulz You know how it is sometimes when Mad Men’s plot begins to drag but you’re not ready to stop watching though you are ready for something else to look at so you just sort of dream over Don’s furniture while you wait for the next lurid part?

We thought so. The era’s furnishings are a worthy obsession—and an enduring one.

Charles Schulz could be considered Don’s sober twin, at least in furniture. A new exhibit, “Mid-Century Modern,” running through Oct. 27 in the main gallery of his eponymous museum, celebrates Schulz’s environs as seen in his strips, enlivened as they were by clean severe lines, über-functionality and the work of Ray and Charles Eames. (A strip from the era shows Linus standing in a room of linear contemporary furniture wondering what the heck a rocking chair is.)

“His wife was really into design,” explains Schulz Museum marketing director Gina Huntsinger, pausing by a Hassel Smith painting lent for the exhibition. “So he was drawing the stuff that was in the house.”

In “Modern,” the museum staff has recreated Sparky’s strips right down to the curtain treatments and the rugs.

Best of all? No lurid parts.

A panel discussion on the enduring pleasures of the midcentury modern aesthetic featuring the editor of Dwell magazine, as well as an architect, a member of the Eames Foundation and an expert from Scandinavian Design is slated for Saturday, June 29, at the Charles M. Schulz Museum. 2301 Hardies Lane, Santa Rosa. 4pm. Free with museum admission; $5–$10. 707.579.4452.—Gretchen Giles

BY ROB BREZSNY

For the week of June 26

ARIES (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19) â&#x20AC;&#x153;To know when to stop is of the same importance as to know when to begin,â&#x20AC;? said the painter Paul Klee. Take that to heart, Aries! You are pretty adept at getting things launched, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got more to learn about the art of stopping. Sometimes you ďŹ nish prematurely. Other times you sort of disappear without ofďŹ cially bringing things to a close.

Now would be an excellent time to reďŹ ne your skills.

TAURUS (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20) â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem with quotes on the internet is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to determine whether or not they are genuine.â&#x20AC;? So said Joan of Arc back in 1429, right before she helped lead French troops in the battle of Patay. JUST KIDDING! Joan of Arc never had the pleasure of surďŹ ng the web, of course, since it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist until long after she died. But I was trying to make a point that will be useful for you to keep in mind, Taurus, which is: Be skeptical of both wild claims and mild claims. Stay alert for seemingly interesting leads that are really time-wasting half-truths. Be wary for unreliable gossip that would cause an unnecessary ruckus.

GEMINI (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20) French impressionist painter Claude Monet loved to paint water lilies, and he did so over and over again for many years. Eventually he created about 250 canvases that portrayed these ďŹ&#x201A;oating ďŹ&#x201A;owers. Should we conclude that he repeated himself too much? Should we declare that he was boringly repetitive? Or might we wonder if he kept ďŹ nding new delights in his comfortable subject? Would we have enough patience to notice that each of the 250 paintings shows the water lilies in a different kind of light, depending on the weather and the season and the time of day? I vote for the latter view, and suggest that you adopt a similar approach to the familiar things in your life during the coming weeks.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to swim one takes off all oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes,â&#x20AC;? said 19th-century Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to aspire to the truth, one must undress in a far more inward sense, divest oneself of all oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inward clothes, of thoughts, conceptions, selďŹ shness, etc., before one is sufďŹ ciently naked.â&#x20AC;? Your assignment in the coming week, Cancerian, is to get au naturel like that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for you to make yourself available for as much of the raw, pure, wild truth as you can stand.

LEO (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;August 22) Gertrude Stein was an innovative writer. Many illustrious artists were her friends. But she had an overly elevated conception of her own worth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think of the Bible and Homer,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;think of Shakespeare and think of me.â&#x20AC;? On another occasion, she proclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Einstein was the creative philosophic mind of the century, and I have been the creative literary mind of the century.â&#x20AC;? Do you know anyone like Stein, Leo? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the truth, in my opinion: To some degree, we are all like Stein. Every one of us has at least one inďŹ&#x201A;ated idea about ourselvesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a conceited self-conception that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match reality.

It was my turn to confront my egotistical delusions a few weeks ago. Now would be an excellent time for you to deal with yours. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too hard on yourself, though. Just recognize the inďŹ&#x201A;ation, laugh about it, and move on.

VIRGO (August 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;September 22) When I close my eyes, I get a psychic vision of you as a kid playing outside on a warm summer day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with friends, immersed in a game that commands your full attention.

Suddenly, you hear a jingling tune wafting your way from a distance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ice cream truck. You stop what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and run inside your home to beg your mom for some money. A few minutes later, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a state of bliss, communing with your Fudgsicle or ice cream cone or strawberry-lime fruit bar. I have a feeling that you will soon experience an adult version of this scene, Virgo. Metaphorically speaking, either the ice cream man or the ice cream woman will be coming to your neighborhood.

LIBRA (September 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;October 22) During the past 10 months, you have been unusually adventurous.

The last time you summoned so much courage and expansiveness may have been 2001. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m impressed!

Please accept my respect and appreciation. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had

a sixth sense about knowing when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise to push beyond your limitations and boundaries. You have also had a seventh sense about intuiting when to be crafty and cautious as you wander through the frontiers. Now hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of your assignments for the next 12 months: Distill all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned out there in the borderlands and decide how you will use your wisdom to build an unshakable power spot back here in the heart of the action.

SCORPIO (October 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;November 21)

Michael Faraday (1791â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1867) was one of the most inďŹ&#x201A;uential scientists in history. He produced major breakthroughs in both chemistry and physics. Have you ever used devices that run on electricity? You can thank him for playing a major role in developing that wonderful convenience. And yet unlike most scientists, he had only the most elementary grasp of mathematics. In fact, his formal education was negligible. I propose that we name him your role model of the week. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a striking example of the fact that you can arrive at your chosen goal by many different paths. Keep that in mind if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ever tempted to believe that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one right way to fulďŹ ll your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 21) â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing that we learn from history,â&#x20AC;? said the German philosopher Georg Hegel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is that we never learn anything from history.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m urging you to refute that statement in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleading with you to search your memory for every possible clue that might help you be brilliant in dealing with your immediate future. What have you done in the past that you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do now? What havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you done in the past that you should do now?

CAPRICORN (December 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;January 19) According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would be a pretty good time to talk about things that are hard to talk about. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd it easy to do. But I suspect it would be relatively free of pain and karmic repercussions. There may even be a touch of pleasure once the catharsis kicks in. So try it if you dare, Capricorn. Summon the courage to express truths that have previously been hard to pin down. Articulate feelings that have been murky or hidden. For best results, encourage those you trust to do the same.

AQUARIUS (January 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;February 18)

Are you familiar with quidditch? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rough sport played by wizards in the ďŹ ctional world of Harry Potter. All seven books in the series mention it, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important element. Author J. K. Rowling says she dreamed up the sport after having a quarrel with her boyfriend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my deepest, darkest soul,â&#x20AC;? she reports, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would quite like to see him hit by a bludger.â&#x20AC;? (In quidditch, a bludger is a big black ball made of iron.) I bring this up, Aquarius, because I suspect that you, too, are in position to use anger in a creative and constructive way. Take advantage of your raw emotion to make a lasting improvement in your life.

PISCES (February 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20)

In his erotic poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Sex,â&#x20AC;? Joe Bolton exults: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My heart simpliďŹ ed, I touch the bud of happinessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in season. And whatever grief I might have felt before simply dies inside me.â&#x20AC;? You might want to write that down on a slip of paper and carry it around with you this week, Pisces. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, the bud of happiness is now in season for you. You have good reason to shed the undertones of sadness and fear you carry around with you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you the last lines of Boltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem, because they also apply: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best just to take pleasure wherever we want and can. Look: the twilight is alive with wild honey.â&#x20AC;? (The full poem: tinyurl.com/JoeBolton.)
