Dixon, California, has much to offer in addition to its annual Lamb Festival. There is a restaurant there called George's Orange, which serves some pretty good Mexican food. Also, many years ago a group of resident computer techies, led by fellow-techie and artist Robert Armstrong, started a rag tag organization called the Couch Potatoes. The men wore T-shirts with a happily reclining potato decked out on an over-stuffed sofa. The women were called couch tomatoes and wore T-shirts with a very pretty tomato picture and "Get It Yourself!" emblazoned across the front. They put out a very nice newsletter called "The Tuber Voice." The house (Armstrong's?) where they held their meetings was scattered with old television sets...some of which actually worked. The members wore these strange high red and gold hats with a tassel attached. They always reminded me of those hats that Oliver and Hardy wore to their Sons of the Desert meetings.
