I’m glad to be back in Berkeley, but I have had zero time for blogging. I’ve only been online twice in the past three days to check email. Now that I have a few minutes, precious time is wasted with the incredibly slow connection speeds which always plague me on the road. (If only there were some way to buy fast Internet on a temporary basis….)
But I uploaded a couple of pictures of my favorite park, which is still there.
That was on Friday.
Today is Easter, and it is raining ferociously. A hell of thing for anyone expected to rise and shine.
But Happy Easter to all!

Raining ferociously, indeed! At 10 AM, I was over at Edgewood Park, near Redwood City, supposed to be leading my annual Easter wildflower hunt, and not only were the flowers still hibernating but the rain was impressive. I guess Berkeley would be half an hour or so downwind in this slow-moving storm.
Curiously, I didn’t have any takers for the hike.
The fields would be in fine shape for reenacting the Battle of Culloden, though. And on Friday, somebody was trying to sell me a claymore, just in time for the anniversary….
Happy soggy Easter!
Is it my imagination, or does your favorite park look like a rubble and graffiti strewn mess?
I thought People’s Park was your favorite park
The Albany Waterfront Park used to be a dumping ground for construction and building materials for more than a century. A couple decades ago they stopped the dumping and turned it into a park. Other than strewing some dirt over the top, I don’t think they did any planting, but just let nature and whatever seeds the wind happens to deliver take their course.
