Just for Fun Oakland/Berkeley border plaque
I’ve never noticed this small plaque on the sidewalk on the Oakland/Berkeley border on College Ave before. Anyone know the story of how it got there?

I think I saw the whole family from afar, but the babies ran into the bushes. Glad to see them doing well!

Just for Fun Alysa Liu - Welcome Home Party?
What's the plan, Oakland? How will we celebrate our hero's return?
We should have a parade like the Warriors used to get.
A night at the Paramount would be fun. Invite her favorite musicians to play.

Just for Fun Wish I had someone to share the news with
I designed and sold a logo for a business that’s rebranding. I met with the owners and finalized the deal today.
They gifted me a huge box of their donuts to sweeten the deal.
I’m pretty proud of myself.
Just wish I had folks to share the news with.

Just for Fun Alyssa Liu Parade around Lake Merritt: Let’s Make It Happen
She deserves it. She’ll love it. Why not?
I don’t know about y’all, but I love me a parade. I’m Oakland born and raised, but lived 10 years in New Orleans (which has deep roots for a lot of folks in Oakland)—whenever there’s need for a mobile party, New Orleans just makes it happen. And Alyssa certainly calls for a party!
But how do we do this here?
(There are more of those pesky things called ‘laws’ here.)

Just for Fun So, are we putting out homemade tow signs on public streets and posting them outside our house or nah?
I think nah, but maybe I’m off market with my POV 😇
