CITY SLICKERS

I took this picture last summer at the farm where I work in West Oakland. West Oakland is sort of a rough part of town, sort of a beautiful part of town, and a part of town where the administrative decisions have been top-down for centuries: Meaning, wealthy people who don't live there decide what happens. Then NIMBY's' get it their way when they build a freeway, BART tracks and a post office sorting center(a block's worth of people were displaced for this) through West Oakland's main commercial street. The KKK's have got their way as well. I'll explain in another segment this weekend.

These girls are the daughters of one of the best dads I've met ever. Very cute and smart kiddies. We killed the old rooster and made coq au vin.
