    Dear Scorpio Pervert

    Mill Valley is a dead giveaway. They are all klueless liberals there, I had a girl friend from Mill Valley and another one from nearby San Anselmo. They are all liberals there: hiking boots, hot tubs, casual sexual encounters, lots of yeast infections and bladder infections. It's real dramatic there in Marin County, which can boast of Barbara Boxer. If you can boast of Barbara Boxer, what else do I need to know about you?

    But I did truly love Mount Tam. My best friend at the time knew her trails like the palm of his hand. We went on many hikes there and in Big Sur. He wasn't your type, I'm afraid: Unpretentious, apolitical, just a wonderful West Coast dude who never had a car, walked everywhere he went (Hi Wayne!) and never found the perfect woman of his dreams.
