#Bobcat visitors

We had someone stop by yesterday to take our dog for a short walk at lunchtime as my wife and I were both at work the whole day. The dog walker noticed a bobcat by our front door, and snapped a nice photo with her cell phone.

This morning my neighbor sent me a video clip of what looks like an adult bobcat with three youngsters moseying across his porch and driveway.

Our cat will be staying inside for a while.

Hopefully the bobcats will catch a few ground squirrels - it seems like there more squirrels than normal and they have been especially destructive this spring.

Ah, Walnut Creek: where the dream of a 3-bedroom apartment with a playground is as elusive as a unicorn riding a bicycle 🚴‍♂️🦄. Apparently, zoning laws are the real MVPs here, ensuring that any new construction is as financially feasible as building a Lego castle with no bricks. But hey, at least Kevin Burke is available for hire!

#LivePerformanceArt #Ballet #Dance . . .

I'm going to a live performance for the 1st time in years in #WalnutCreek today to see the #SmuinContemporaryBallet at the #LesherCenter because the box seat tickets only cost $30 each; not the $100-200+ that I've seen so often for the ballet, symphony & theater recently.

It'll be a pleasant change from all of the #TV that I've been watching. 😊

Nice bike ride on the Iron Horse Regional Trail in San Francisco/Oakland north East Bay area

We stayed in Dublin CA Friday night for a Saturday morning 42 mile bike ride my wife and some of our friends did as part of the women's only Cinderella bike ride. I’m told that it was a nice event and an enjoyable course.

As for me, I decided to explore the Iron Horse Regional Trail on a 32 mile out and back from Dublin past Danville to my Walnut Creek turnaround. It’s a very nice paved trail 10 or so feet wide with 50 yards or so of open space and trees along the way. It was originally a rail line, so the trail is flat and mostly straight, something I’m not used to living in the Santa Cruz area.

Along the way the trail is bordered by neighborhoods and schools. It’s a well used trail with lots of runners, walkers, and families with kids and dogs, mostly locals, presumably.

It’s a bike trail I’d recommend.
