Vietnamese coffee

Yum -- that's all I gotta say!

Bikes

They're a mainstay of Berkeley life. Here's two at Fellini, a local coffee shop.

Look for better photos to come, now that I have my computer back!

Apologies ...

Please forgive the lack of posting lately. My computer should be coming out of the shop and I can't wait to see her! Regular posting will resume after our happy reunion.

Note to those with butterfingers like myself: Dropping a laptop will often result in a hefty repair bill. Be warned.

Three for the price of one, once again

Look carefully at that first picture: It says "Remember Punky Brewster." Can I confess that that's San Francisco, not Berkeley? Will you forgive me? The spooky-eyed cat is mine, Oliver, the 18-year-old tabby, doing just fine, thanks. And why the tree in the wheelbarrow in North Berkeley? Why not?

Hope you're all well and looking forward to spring -- I sure am, and I'm so excited that Daylight Savings is coming three weeks early this year!

Tow Zone

My weekend trip to San Diego made me realize how Berkeley is always, always in a state of change. Here's one example - - don't park at McGuire and Hester, or if you do, mind the sign.

Three for the price of one!

A bonus of three because I'm going to be out of town. Will try to post a few more tomorrow. For now, enjoy your long weekend!

BART

Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, is our subway. It's got its charms, and its annoyances, just like everything everywhere. Here's the Downtown Berkeley station.

I had a more Valentine's-appropriate pic -- a glass gate cutout in the shape of a heart -- but I had a hard drive failure and am having trouble accessing my files, so that'll be for another day.
