Man, we are starting to get a headache trying to stay on top of the convoluted machinations of the San Francisco 2008 State Senate race. You may remember that current State Assembly rep Mark Leno floated a trial balloon to run in two years for the seat currently held by his former friend Carole Migden. After pooh-poohing the rumor, Migden then promptly started floating trial balloons of her own that she might run against Gavin Newsom for mayor in 2007, to improve her name recognition in SF and shore up support with anti-Newsomites.

Check out this hook while my Wednesday revolves it! Today: The Del Sol string quartet performs pieces by female Korean composer Hyo-Shin Na at the Main Library today at 2. Na will be there to introduce the pieces. We're partial to Del Sol and their 20th-21st century stylings (they played this correspondent's wedding), so go check 'em out!

Oh, the farmer and the merchant should be friends, the farmer and the merchant should be friends -- one man likes to push a plow the other one likes to shop -- and how! but that's no reason why they can't be friends. You'll have to go that much longer without accessible fresh fruits and vegetables in the Marina, now that the merchants of Scott Street have successfully blocked a Tuesdays' farmers market from setting up stands on their street. (There's a longer article about this in today's Examiner, but it's not online yet for some reason). All but four business and three tenants on Scott Street signed a petition against reopening the Marina Farmers' Market, claiming that all those bright, fresh-tasting leafy greens and tart apples interfered with parking and cut into their Tuesday profits. McGoldrick and Ma killed the request at the City Ops and Neighborhood Services meeting yesterday, and proposed to move the market to the Marina Middle School on Saturdays instead, to which (other) merchants complained that the same tomatoes and sugar snap peas would drive traffic away from Chestnut and onto Fillmore instead. The request is up for a full vote at today's Board of Supes meeting. Marina-ite folks should stick together -- Scott Street vendors should all be pals! Pluto's should dance with the farmers' daughters, farmers dance with the trendy bath products vendors' gals! Picture from the SF Center for Urban Education for Sustainable Agriculture
