Charmed by the City of San Mateo Parks & Rec's effort to help folks be neighborly in Central Park -- meet the "Happy to chat" bench!
Cheerful green sign posted by the City of San Mateo reads, "Welcome to the 'Happy to chat' bench! Sit here if you don't mind someone stopping by to say hi!" / "¡Bienvenido al banco 'Feliz de charlar!' ¡Siéntate aqui si no te importa que alguien pase a saludarte!" The wooden "Happy to chat" bench sits in a shady green spot in Central Park in San Mateo, California. Commemorative metal plaque on the wooden "Happy to chat" bench in Central Park reads: "Yuko Fukuma first visited this park in Summer 1975."

Beautiful day in San Francisco.
The protest slogan "Fuck ICE" is spelled out in huge white letters on a bright green grassy slope in Dolores Park ahead of the No Kings protest in San Francisco. Hundreds of protesters with signs and American flags walk by, but at a distance, to preserve unobstructed views for the public.

A list of "Wild Faith" (audiobook) words I either didn't know or had been pronouncing wrong. Please excuse my handwriting and any spelling errors, I was not in copyeditor mode at the time of writing (and I was raised by Christian fundamentalists, womp womp).
A handwritten grocery-style list of words: aegis, bonafides, apotheosis, folie au deux machismo, gauche, apologia, detritus, acrid, machinations, fun ("coom"), august (like month?), mores ("mo-rays"), coif ("kwoff"), presage, gnomic, concomitant, paroxysm, cause celebre, indefatigable, coteries
