Weather Forecast: Partly Cloudy high 73, low 50, 10% of rain.  Doesn't
look like we'll need to go for our back up plan of The Tech Museum, but
we've got that option if we need it.

* Note: We'll commit to waiting no longer than 10:15 and then we're
going to carpool to Uvas with whoever has joined us.  If everyone who's
RSVPed makes it by 10, we'll take off earlier.  So speak up and let us
know if you're coming so we know to look for you!
