I'm an editor and content guy. I love the outdoors (running, backpacking, snowboarding), my dog (a very good boy), my town (Oakland), good beer and wine, great fiction, and sometimes sports.
I saw the Bay Farm island drawbridges to up/down today AND I rode Woodstock for the first time
First ride on an electric Caltrain today! Clean, quiet, fast. What a massive upgrade.
This is beyond a stretch. There's nothing here.
I'm going on Sunday!
One bug: when I attach images, they don't appear. (If I lost them, they work. But not in compose.)
Encampment fire this morning at Union Point Park #oakland
I've watched approximately 1.5 minutes of baseball this year and just saw a grand slam. What are the odds?
This opening ceremony is pretty weird and cool. The announcers are awful. Hush.

Overheard in front of 7-11:

Guy 1: [pointing at leaf blower] What did you put in here?

Guy 2: Gas

Guy 1: Gas WITH OIL. Two-stroke! Oil!

(Gas leaf blowers are illegal in Oakland, btw.)

I have entirely given up on the A's and MLB, but as Gabe writes, "somehow, the A’s Oakland exit got even crueler."
