"The walking's better in Berkeley"

My brother would get that line.

Took a long stroll from College and Alcatraz (Rockridge area) back home. It was particularly heartening, seriously, to pass all the new freshmen with their Target bags, maps in hand ("Where's the Tang Center?") and suitemates who, within months, will become enemies or lovers or, more likely, both.

It's 80 degrees and I feel like I accomplished something today ... just by walking.
