Philip K. Dick's "hermit house"
707 hacienda way
san rafael, california 94903

Philip K. Dick moved to this house in San Rafael with his fourth wife in 1968. After they separated, a rotating cast of characters would live and do drugs with him at the house. It would earn the nickname 'Hermit House' and this time period in his life would become the basis for A Scanner Darkly published in 1977.

I saw Sean Penn's good friend, Susan Sarandon, at the San Rafael Trader Joe's sometime between 2000 - 2004 when I was living in Santa Rosa. She wasn't wearing a stitch of makeup but it was definitely her.

That was during the same time when I used to have to go to San Rafael every Sunday night to drop someone off at the downtown transit center. Afterwards I would often go into the Open Secret bookstore and gift boutique to get a drink or snack before driving back up to Santa Rosa and I would often see Ram Dass there sitting satsung and doing his thing.
