Arrival in Berkeley

Well, Earthlink messed me up and I could not get online at home. Sorry it took a while to post this -- we did not fall off the face of the planet. Here is last night's sunset:

 Also note that the phone number we had been giving out previous (with the 295 prefix) was never in service. Again, Earthlink.

The past few days have been filled with cleaning and shopping for cleaning supplies. It's kind of a strange thing to wait in an empty house for your stuff to get to you, you feel passive and helpless. So we pass the time by cleaning. This morning I checked the moving van's status, and it's in Gallup, NM. Soon.

It's been sunny and about 70 degrees for the past few days. The streets here are wide and well marked; both the pedestrians and the drivers are much more patient than in Boston. Still, there are letters in the Berkeley Daily Planet about citizen concerns regarding the lack of respect shown on the streets. Hmmm.

Every Friday there is a group that displays an "impeachment" banner. We missed the show this morning, but may have to join them at some point. Then we'll have arrived in Berkeley. For sure.
