Driver sought in Marin County hit-and-run that injured child riding bike

https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/novato-child-on-bike-struck-hit-run-driver-sought-22226109.php

Police in Novato are looking for a driver who struck an 8-year-old on a bicycle Friday, then paused briefly at the scene before fleeing. 

Just before 4 p.m. Friday, the Novato Police Department responded to a hit-and-run near the intersection of Vineyard Road and Sutro Avenue, a residential area about three miles from downtown Novato. 

An older woman driving a newer black Mercedes sedan reportedly struck the child, who suffered minor injuries. The driver “stopped briefly and acknowledged the child” before driving away westbound on Vineyard Road, leaving the child in the road, police said. A passerby helped the child and called 911.

Marinwood in the spring is so cute

Was just up in Marinwood and forgot how good it is in the spring. It’s noticeably warmer and sunnier than a lot of Marin, and everything just feels so chill, kids out, people walking dogs, neighbors actually outside.

It’s not a “destination” place at all, but that’s kind of the point. Quiet streets, easy vibe, nothing trying too hard. Just feels like a really livable pocket, especially compared to foggier parts closer to the coast.

Curious if people who live there feel the same or if it’s just a visitor perspective.

Going out in Marin tonight

Someone made a similar post a couple of months ago and a few of us ended up meeting up and having a good time. A few from that night will be doing the same tonight around 10-10:30 tonight. Send a dm if interested and I can give you the place cause I don't want this to seem like some online marketing post! The age range of us is 29-35 if that helps to know the age range so far.

Limiting Screens in the Classroom, Miller Creek School District

I wanted to share this petition with any families in the Miller Creek school district.  LAUSD just passed a unanimous decision to restrict screens and go back to mostly textbooks, and pen and paper in schools and I personally feel this is a phenomenal decision for our kids. I'm hoping to use some of that momentum, along with Tam Union's decision to ban cell phones in schools, to get Miller Creek to do something similar! Or at least get the ball rolling in the right direction. If you also feel that our kids should be on screens less in school, please feel free to sign the petition! 

https://c.org/GZyXydmHDp

It is also worth an email to the board telling them you support a phone ban in schools, meaning locked up and not accessible during school hours. The best email to express your opinions is pubcomms@millercreeksd.org. Feel free to also tell them how you feel about 1:1 iPads and Chromebook's. If enough of us express how we feel, we’re sure to get this moving in the right direction!

AITA for not giving up the flip seat after a cyclist TOLD me to give up the seat so that they could hang up their bike?

Ok, this is a long one. Background: I'm 65, have a seizure disorder that requires medication that knocks me tired by the end of a 9 hour day. I boarded the train ( 5:25, northbound, ) and sit down on one of those flip seats. They are 1st come, 1st serve. The other one on the other side is also already occupied by a guy, say 30's. A cyclist gets on, looks at him, then at me. A 65 year old woman, and tells ME to get up and give her the seat. I didn't say anything. I just ignored her. She moves on. Then ANOTHER cyclist gets on and does the same thing. Looks at both of us, and TELLS me to get up. I just ignore him too. The younger guy in the other flip seat gets up, let's him hang his bike. Yes, he's ALOT YOUNGER THAN ME, and also, he's NOT REQUIRED TO. Then another guy sticks his nose in and yells at me " THOSE SEATS ARE FOR BIKES!" I ignore him, at get off at my stop. That was 2 days ago. I've seen these guys on the train since then, on the platform, pointing, laughing. Whatever. I ignore. Seriously, not spoken ONE WORD. Today, I get on the same train, and I do what I usually do. I enter in the closest door and sit in the closest seat. Again, a flip seat. Yes, I am a lunatic, apparently, by entering by the first door and sitting in the first seat. The same guy that yelled at me 2 days ago boards with his bike friend. The bike friend TELLS ME to get up. I point out that it's first come and first serve, but I don't want to argue, so I ACTUALLY MOVE MY 65 YEAR OLD ASS so that this 40 year old something can hang his bike. The conductor comes back and I ask him to clarify the policy, do bike riders have the right to tell folks to move? He says no. I ask him to explain the policy to these bike guy. Conductor says something half assed and walks away.The bike guy GOES OFF. Tells me to FUCK OFF. ​Now, if he hadn't yelled it 3 times, I might have let it go. But I HAD HAD IT. So, I told him if he didn't SHUT UP, I'd flip him into next week. Not proud, but this 65 year old tired lady had HAD IT. Then one guy walks the conductor BACK saying that I'm threatening , being violent, that I was rude all week to cyclists! Remember, I didn't utter a word to anyone the first day, just ignored them. I ignored them until today, and only after they guy starting telling me to go fuck myself. Honestly, I don't even feel safe getting back on that train.

No luck in SMMC, is anyone else in the same boat?

My experience with SMMC has been a really strange experience and also I feel a little let down by my experience. When I went to the meetups during mat leave it felt like a one upping contest in a group setting, no one was being real about the hard stuff and no one shared anything about themselves? It was just “oh my baby is ahead bc x y z”

Then I started work again. All the activities in SMMC seem to during the week and I work M-F so a few times I’ll post that I’m grabbing coffee at a local shop and going on a walk in a few days if anyone wants to join or ask if anyone wants to do a happy hour *complete silence*

I’m really outgoing and always had a lot of friends before I moved here and this is making me feel so left out. Making family friends is hugely important to me. What should I do? I’m at a loss on how to grow my community.

OB/GYN, primary care, and dentist recs in Marin?

I recently came to need a new providers in Marin. I understand all sectors have extremely long waitlists for new patients in this area but am looking for doctors that people have good experiences with, specially the OB/GYN as that relationship is fairly vulnerable.

For reference, I am in my lates 20s, in good health, and don’t plan on being pregnant for another 5 or so years. For dentists, my oral health is good and I only need a cleaning, but my husband will need some dental work. I’m located in San Rafael as well. Any recs would be hugely appreciated!

Lost my wetsuit in Bolinas

Shot in the dark but thought it’s worth a shot. I left Bolinas today at 6:15pm with a size Extra Large Tall Isurus wetsuit in a 4/3 hanging on my right side rear view mirror. I have retraced my steps but I did not find it. It likely fell by the tennis court main beach parking lot or on the road out of town. Did anyone happen to pick it up or find it? It was turned inside out and has a red, blue and black color interior. Would mean a lot to me to get it back- broke, heartbroken grad student surfer
