Today was the Citywide Garage Sale in Albany, CA. We decided that this event would be the perfect occasion to begin a project to walk every street in Albany. We saw a lot of junk for sale during a 4-hour walk that covered the area East of San Pablo Avenue, and North of Solano Ave. We’re now about 25-30% of the way done, but there’s no hurry. Walking Berkeley took 2 years, and walking Albany will be done at a leisurely pace this Summer.

- Today was the Albany Citywide Garage Sale.
-
- I liked this one quite a bit.
-
- Although the stone facing was hard to resist.
-
- A girl told us that the local gun store had been held up at knife point.
-
- We heard a singing repair man.
-
- An old man who was gardening collapsed, and we made sure he was OK.
-
- Around the corner, the melancholy continued.
-
- We create little pockets of order — the illusion of control.
-
- Sometimes our dreams of control end up as monuments to chaos.
-
- Look at the trees. Look at the Skylark. Nature has no straight lines.
-
- Even as it all unravels there’s occasionally something of value.
Previous walks of note:
Keep an eye out for the aliens near the other side of Solano and Ordway.
I hope the aliens are friendly, that area of Albany is next on the list.
