Curiosity Shop

Another yesterday

In the life of the Berkeley Flaneur 

in exile

 The good old boardwalk

The Port of Oakland

Sunnier milder weather over I

 I always capture this building

because I like it

First time with smart phone cam

 Ronan Worship

Monday March 21st

$15 - 8:00pm

People on the bus

 Top hen goose loonie--new meds?

Extreme clown make-up not in evidence today

As we passed the cathedral I made the sign of the cross

Said a little prayer with my eyes closed,

When I opened them she did a contemptuous mockery of me

 Well, here's looking at you, Kid

I exited singing, 

"Which side are you on?"

While I was taking this shot
A young head-banger emerged from the hidden door
Of the mat-black Oakland Metro Opera House
As he went back in I said
"Behave yourself now,"
We both laughed

 This sweet harmless lady is also somewhat challenged,

She is an artist as well,

Seemingly every day she creates a new bonnet

Out of shiny appropriations,

Flamboyant and extravagant,

Every day is an Easter parade

 What are the Oakland cops up to at night?

They watch a big-screen TV, third floor right,

Warriors games, I can even see the free throw results,

Last night they were watching TMZ

The room you don't want to visit

Is right upstairs

With the shade tightly drawn shut
