Tahoma Dusted by early spring snowfall

So, you thought that spring had sprung and temps would rise everyday? Well, Bunky, not quite yet ready for shorts and hiking boots. With Easter weekend/Passover here already, it appears conditions will be perfect for end of season festivities and alpine events.
So, get on the boards one more time- you've got good stamina left in those bones:go for iiiiit.

Fish tales
Persistent rumors of fishin' success in the vicinity of Westshore must be verified. The Mayor has dispatched his Minister of Wildlife to investigate these rumors. As always, the Mayor's Office trying to help folks. As an example, our Minister of health and Welfare has been reading the Health Reform Law cover to cover. Could take another month(slow going and she's been ordered not to miss a thing)We will have a report for it's impact on the local citizenry as soon as possible.

Upcoming Events
Quilt Show @ DeYoung Museo in SF. The Mayor and Min. of Arts and Culture visited the show currently in GG Park. It includes the best examples of Amish quilts from Pennsylvania and the Midwest. Well worth it. The many quilters of Tahoma could appreciate this fine exhibition. While you're at it, visit the 9th Floor observation tower for a bird's eye view of the western half of San Francisco and Golden Gate Park. Many landmarks are in fine form from 100' up, including St. Ignatius Church, St. Anne's Basilica, Lone Mountain College(USF),Univ of California Medical School, Fort Miley Vets Hospital, Lincoln Park and the Legion of Honor, and the TransAm Pyramid. The Marin Headlands are there with Mt. Tam, and way east is the tip of Mt. Diablo.
Also included is a great look at the living roof of the Academy of Sciences across the plaza from the museo.

Movie Coming Out
The Miller Brothers of Marin, the dynamic duo who produced their first film a couple of years ago will finally see its commercial release and distribution on April 30th. Don't miss it. It's based on a true story, a good one.

Fish Stories
A friend just returned from a trip to Argentina where he and a couple of his brothers patrolled the Andean foothills looking for trophy trout. It took awhile, but they finally had success south of Bariloche, in a remote part of Patagonia. Seems like a long way to go for few trout, but, that's what fishing is about: the next big one. Argentina always sounds like a great destination and the mayor will budget funds to send a minister or two to visit Patagonia very soon. The Andes are in many ways similar to the Sierra Nevada. Hence, there are many things that would be of interest to the citizens of Tahoma.
Sunday, on the Bay, the tide was flooding early, so it was time to float the kayaks out near the Sisters to test the waters for stripers. Sadly, the bite was off ,again, and the Mayor and the Minister of Sport and Recreation got skunked. No fish on, niente, nulla, nada.

Soccer or Il Calcio
Had to help a friend with some community service, not an atypical event. So, there I was, running up and down the field, officiating a soccer game between 2 local high schools: Branson of Ross and San Marin of Novato. Branson won 1-0 on a set piece from the corner late in the game. They played evenly and a tie appeared to be in the offing. The rain started in the 80th minute, so it was not a wash out. Pity the JV teams following the varsity.
