I was dropped here by a friend/mechanic as a place to take my daughter while he worked on our car. I've lived in Hayward/San Leandro/Alamo and San Ramon for the latter half of my life.

It was a lovely day. We had just eaten breakfast and I needed to walk some of it off. I started walking, they were following. Brother did not want to, so I went off on my own.
