more grass more roots

i started to write this yesterday and lost it all when the program quit. i am trying toenvision what life will be like here in the ross valley when all the open spaces arereduced to field turf. it is already very challenging to find a field to fly a kite with a kid on a spring weekend. every wide flat open green space is used by various school teams. we had to drive to home depot in san rafael last year to teach my grandson how to ride a bike.no bikes on field turf. i wonder how it feels to do tai-chi on field turf? how about picnics onfield turf? cartwheels? where will the kids dig holes?how does it feel to pay parcel taxesfor the installation of field turf that a citizen of ross valley who is not a coach or a memberof a team cannot use? i pay over $600.00 per year for various school district 'improvement'bonds that create spaces that i, and my family are banned from using. how do you feel about this?don't even get me started on the effects on wildlife. p
