Daughter overslept and Shea had a meeting, so I went with a thousand other fellow Vallejoans!
Vallejo Gay Pride Picnic with the Hayden Dogs and Foster Dogs
I love it when my communities/worlds collide. Mei organized this major dog walk on Mare Island which crossed paths with a major picnic that the Vallejo Gay Network has every year. I brought our two fosters who got a lot of serious attention with their “Adopt Me” vests. It was a little stressful with the four dogs, but we had a wonderful time.

Pictures from Butterfly Festival on Mare Island. Food consisted of some amazing vegan lumpia for me and middle eastern style french fries for Shea. We bought some stained glass pieces which we’ll show and another folk art magnet piece for the fridge.

End of Summer Glen Cove Waterfront Event 2024
I attended as president of Glen Cove Community Association a second annual End of Summer event at Glen Cove Waterfront Park here in Vallejo. Our board worked very hard to put this together. The turnout was decent even though the weather was unusually hot for October. That may have affected turnout, but we had more to offer this year with the jumpy house for kids, lots of games, free wine for adults, a food truck, and live music courtesy of Mike and Tonya from Tara Hills. Under the shade of the eucalyptus trees, it was pleasant with a breeze, but still a hot one.
Videos include the Faceboook Live Streams and personal video we took at the event:

Vallejo Waterfront Weekend 2024
I attended the Vallejo Waterfront Festival yesterday before it got too hot, and got my flu shot at the booth next door when stopping by the Humane Society of the North Bay booth.

Thank you to the Vallejo Waterfront Festival for making HSNB one of the beneficiaries this year!
Folsom Street Fair 2024
I had fun in general at Folsom Street Fair, but there was ZERO San Francisco Department of Health enforcement present and only a few pathetic signs like this one near the end of a street that was an offshoot from the main fair. Why aren’t the street fair licenses at least threatened to be revoked for the overall discomfort and health of attendees?
For those who cherish consent, how about for those who are forced to inhale cigars and other combustible devices in crowds, not to mention people sucking on vapes with huge plumes all day long? I did not consent to polluted air, so I had to spend my day attempting to avoid it in public from discourteous people. I hope the world gets some sense knocked into it someday. I actually love crowds, but not if I have to fight the ignorance.
