Berkley, a positive place

Our little city has lots of friendly events.  We live down the street from Rogers Elementary and this is the finish line for their annual fun run.  The city shuts down the streets on the route for a couple of hours for the kids participating.  The city has skeletons festooning the avenues for the upcoming holiday Shopkeepers are busy decorating them to appear akin to their wares.  The city has employed a painter to paint store windows with fun ghosts that also have reminders of the stores.  We have no multi story businesses or multi story parking structures aside from our 8 story apartment building.  There municipal lots that accommodate most of the customers.  If not you can park on most streets.  This is a pretty contented place.  Even the Berkley Bears that I pass on their lunch breaks are polite and as friendly as you could expect from a teenager.  One of my favorite items is listening to the band practice on the front lawn of the school.  I really don't care how good they play. 

It's the next day.  Had kid pickup duty (they have thankfully been in a good mood) , made granola, finishing laundry and called my Uncle Len (who is doing fine).  He is all I have left of that generation on either side.  Gonna go back to Planet Fitness for another round.

Should be a good day
all for now
stay safe
