July 22

This was a terrible day. But I don't want to talk about that part. These are the good parts. Melissa and I were going to spend time in San Francisco, but first I was spending some time driving around Berkeley.


It was an unbelievably clear day, and you could see San Francisco clearly from Grizzly Peak.


Also, Marin.

We went to 826 Valencia, which is Dave Eggers' pirate supply store and reading/writing workshop for underprivileged children.


Genius sign.


Full of oddities.


You can buy moustaches of varying shapes and sizes.


It's a veritable oddity emporium.




That is Karl the puffer fish. Shouldn't judge him.


It closed.


This almost tasted really good.


The iced tea was certainly pretty.


The sky was gorgeous.


Kinda sweet, right?
