Mid-Summer Sidewalk Berkeley












 Shot on an IPhone
Appropriated on my phone










 What was it Country Joe sang?




 High all the time...



 Berkeley soldiers on
as a phoney symbol 
of what once was



 This is a Contra Costa scene
as seen on an official vehicle
visiting town




 This truck commemorates
a fallen service man




 Kooky sox are pop



 The venerable 
Chandler apartments
 still vacant after the fire



 

 Falling leaves and flames
harbingers of
 the Burning Man





 Street cat
thinks he's a pimp





Sucky cat socks/Love them
 a fetish of attraction
 and submission






 Have the young and trendy
really been listening 
to Joy Division for the past
fifteen years?
Or do they just like the design?





 

 Burning Man shrine
The Wicker man, 
the sacrificed,
the flaming tree








Survival on rough seas
odds on the Kon-tiki

I hear The Smiths in the grocery store. I see little kids wearing Ramones tshirts. It's more 80s than the 80s.

The Ramones are more famous now
A Smiths reunion would be ponderous and huge
