The first Sunday of every month is the Alameda Flea Market. It is vast, impossible to see one side from the other.

This mornings goodies. I’m particularly excited about getting the fake painting to work: gurgling sounds, flowing, back-lit waterfall, etc. Also lolling forward to finally organizing my nuts and bolts, though I suspect I’ll always have a screw loose.
