It’s an election celebration! Before we settle down to the hard work of reconciliation, compromise, COVID control and appreciating people who aren’t like us, let’s take a couple of days to celebrate hope and happiness.  My daughter and husband took videos of some of the celebrations in the streets of Oakland and Berkeley yesterday.  I have tried (successfully, I hope) to include a very short clip of Lady Liberty and other dancers on Grand Avenue Saturday.  Bill’s video, which unfortunately was fuzzy, caught a disabled elderly African-American man popping wheelies in his wheelchair on College Avenue.  What a guy!

If all goes well, you can click on this link and then on the itty bitty square and you will see a 13 second video of Lady Liberty and other celebrators.  RenderedVideo

HAVE A HOPEFUL WEEK!
