Hurried (and wet) Easter Greetings from Berkeley!
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! posted by Eric on 04.16.06 at 08:10 AM

Is it my imagination, or does your favorite park look like a rubble and graffiti strewn mess? Beck · April 17, 2006 04:29 PM I thought People's Park was your favorite park beautifulatrocities · April 18, 2006 05:27 AM 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.

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!
