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.
