For my fellow maker/hacker/nerd/geek/ham radio folks, May's EFM reminder is out - LMK if you will also be attending

Electronics Flea Market (EFM) - Saturday May 9, 2026 at West
Valley College

The Electronics Flea Market (http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/) <http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/> is in lot 2 on the 2nd Saturday of each month at:

West Valley College
14000 Fruitvale Ave
Saratoga, California 95070

Post an announcement to your mailing lists to remind your members to participate.

The Electronics Flea Market (http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/) is held in parking lot 2 of the West Valley College in Saratoga from 6:00AM until noon. Please don't arrive in the area before 5:30 AM as we need to maintain quiet until 8:00 AM. Avoid lot 3 parking, as it is for the farmers market operating there on the same day.

EFM Buyer parking in lot 2 is *free* for this event. If you park in a different lot be sure to have a college parking permit <https://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/faq#buyers> ($3) on your dashboard.

Sunrise is 6:40am PDT. Low 52F and high 73F. Cool early, then nice
partly cloudy.

We hope to see you all there. Please pass along this email to your your friends, or bring them along, so they can be a part of this over 50 year old activity.

San Francisco, Oakland finally land 2-year legal battle over airport name
San Francisco has settled a two-year legal fight with its neighbour across the bay that will allow the city of Oakland to include "San Francisco" in its airport's name — as long as it doesn't highlight the two words in any way.

Getting ready to hang a show at Hotel Biron Wine Bar in SF next week. Opening party is Thursday May 7 and I hope to see you there! It's tucked away on 45 Rose St. #sanfranciscoart #sanfranciscoevents #SanFrancisco

Spent a great morning out walking blocks in the Richmond neighborhood of #SanFrancisco today.

Alert: many fine-smelling roses out there!

Also found a nice hiking path* which seems to be wheelchair compatible. Have to see if @lizzard wants to give it a test sometime. Unfortunately an out-&-back rather than a loop, but does have a side path to mix things up one way or the other. Many birds!

*Lower section of Lobos Creek Valley Trail, accessed from El Camino del Mar, near 25th Ave. SW Presidio.
