     throughout the Great Unraveling in dept. 8? That’s a tantalizing website, S2!

       thanks.

       the music is by Habib Koité & Bamada, from an album called Ma Ya.  The track is Foro Banna.

       Are you a librarian?

           in the San Francisco area.

           You?

           Thanks for the word on Habib Koité. I used to have a tape of his – beautiful music.

           I used to library years ago (in Austin) at the public library as a graphic designer.  Now I stay at home with my two-year old-daughters in Menlo Park.  Their mother libraries here on the peninsula.

           Its nice having our own private thread to discuss these weighty matters!

           Sometimes weeks go by before a new post on the West side catches my eye.

           We should have a BooTrib NorCal meetup this summer I think.

           Any interest?

           Heck Ya!!!  We’ve been talking about a meet-up in the Bay Area for over a year.  It’s high time we organize one.  :>)

           I’d love to host one, but my new apt. is kind of small and has little access to the great outdoors.  But, it is centrally located in Oakland and relatively easy highway and mass transit access (x-bay bus, and about 1.5 miles from BART).  Then again, meeting in a park or other cultural center is always an option.

           Hi Kama! I was hoping you’d chime in.

           My apartment is small too. I like the park idea. How about a picnic at Kirby Cove in the Marin Headlands? It’s beeyootiful there and reachable by public transit (Muni line #76) on Sundays. The downside is that it’s a steep walk that people with disabilities would likely find difficult, but if someone has a DMV disability placard we can get the combo for the locked gate, for car access.

           Or if not, there are so many other nice places…

           I like the idea of a meet-up.

           I always think everybody should go to the beach.
           A park would be good too.

           Me, too.

   Kyl is catching all kinds of hell from GOPers in Arizona regarding his role in the immigration “compromise” in the Senate.  Tedski has the pic of the state Republican Party Chair displaying a one-fingered salute that was aimed at the junior Senator.
