Visiting Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay Area ... VIGNETTES .. Kinda a middle class SF Bay Area Sunday afternoon, with many 20-something year olds.
Ma, John Henry Ed Joan Barbara all,
Hi from Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay Area! Happy day light savings' New Light time. .
Made a dash 3 times to evade the waves coming in as I walked along the beach's surf line at the end of a 3.5 miles' walk first north up into the hills and then south around the whole lagoon. I think the tide was coming in.
As I got to the end of the beach there were about 7 surfers still in the water, none standing on their boards, waiting for the next wave at 7:10 pm Pacific time, still winter on March 13th. One surfer got out and walked up to the parking area put his board by his vehicle, and went over to hang out with his friends, most with longish hair, about 8 guys. Camaraderie ...
As I walked further I saw a plump smart raven near the recycling and food supply occasionally cawing. I said hi. It didn't caw back ... don't know how to elicit a caw from a crow.
A woman walked by on a quite cool evening wearing very short white shorts and no jacket ... Was she showing her legs? ... Could she even be a park service officer?
My car parked next to the hills, above the other cars, but with drive space above me and other highest cars, ... a car drove by with a very colorfully dressed clown??? in it driving ... a trans person out to drive through Rodeo Lagoon, past the surfer guys ... ? Gaudy!
On the beach, earlier, I saw a bleach blond-haired woman with her partner, early to mid-20s, and a woman friend, jump on him frontwards to hug in happiness and in warm embrace as he responded and turned them 365 degrees around hugging her back. Was friend photographing them?
Other families with kids on the beach, with very diverse backgrounds ...

Hike was nice if solo up through the hills overlooking the Pacific ocean ...
Tweeted this when I first parked, from a traveling scholar's perspective -
So here at Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay w its youth hostel, interesting old buildings, even a visitor center, - internet was off coming in, but back on now - how to access world class online libraries, even from ~200 countries' National Libraries & be able to do world class research NOW?
AND
Now could we find out different library knowledge from talking with a realistic Richard Rorty Avatar Bot compared with a UC BERKELEY history Prof or a Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely avatar bot compared with iterating and ever improving National Libraries' and the smallest wee archives and local library's library resources (or even a Harbin Publications' office library of Harbin's history? ... Or 8 other 'Harbin archives' or libraries?
Fondly, Scott
