Couldn't help but be a little worried because Elin's and my son Clay goes to clubs in Oakland now and then. He lives up in Mendocino county an hour and a half plus away. So I called him this morning his evening. Was glad when he answered. He's very sad about it, has gone there
many times, says it was the coolest place on earth, full of
pianos, wooden sculptures, paintings, hip artists who live there.
He doesn't know of anyone who's died but he said he'll surely hear
about at least friends of friends. He said he and his friends are
shook up. He's not a news junkie so I updated him from the other side of the world - 33 dead at the time of the call, 36 the next day. He said there have been other disturbing deaths
recently related to the pot business - in his hometown Sebastopol and Mendo, some
overdoses he's heard of. Bummer days.
