Downtown Oakland after the protest
I wandered through downtown Oakland after last night’s protest. After hearing about it on the morning news, I had to go check it out for myself. The reports of devastation seemed overwrought to my eyes. A bunch of graffiti, a few overturned trash cans and one upended mobile street sign. The most interesting thing to me was the protest art. See for yourself…

Charging up my batteries…at the Estuary
Charging up my battery at the Oakland Estuary. Even the very best batteries have a “self discharge” rate, so they run down just sitting by themselves, doing nothing. For me that means that, between adventures, I have to take my truck to Aquatic Park in Oakland—just a half mile from my house—and set up my solar panel to top off my lithium battery. A couple of hours, enough time for a nap, and I’m ready to go again at a moment’s notice.
