I was pointing my camera, setting my white balance for a series of photos of the Social Security Administration building on 11th St in Oakland when this guy pulls up in his bus and poses for me.

Masterfile Central, where the recons wait. Maybe they'd let me go in there, see if I could get a few of those cases off the shelf. I mean, how high could that shelf be? I could bring a step ladder, if that would help.

This is the car of the Oakland cop who followed my bike up onto the sidewalk today. Assault, but not battery. There was a big dumb parade happening on Broadway, everybody was a little bit on edge. Legba's been pissed all day long.
