Just before this Saturday's CABAL meeting, Deirdre, Cheryl, and I will
be doing one of the highlights of summer in the Peninsula / Silicon

Ground Palo Alto.  Quoting the announcement

Essentially, you drive or bicycle around to ten houses in Palo Alto /
Los Altos / Mountain View with utterly spectacular, lush, food-growing
organic gardens.  A couple of years ago, this included the palatial
estate of Sun Microsystems founder Scott McNealy:  We got served
lemonade by Scott's family.

People can _probably_ join us (if the Tour hasn't reached capacity) by 
showing up at Common Ground on Saturday morning and paying the $35 fee
then.
