archive: the avra valley dispatch: 2 April 2004
East Palo Alto - Redwood Shores commute v. Avra Valley - Tucson commute
billboards for tchotchkes that go into your computer :: billboards for planned communities
Larry Ellison's helicopter landing on of the Oracle buildings :: hot air balloons landing in the cotton fields
seagulls :: roadrunners
fog :: sunsets
container ships on the Bay :: containers on the Union Pacific
massive, gleaming 4wd vehicles :: massive, muddy farming equipment vehicles
well-preserved blondes in Porsches :: well-preserved blondes in Cadillacs
East Palo Alto smells v. Avra Valley smells
jasmine :: freshly planted sorghum fields
eucalyptus :: creosote
oily asphalt after a rain :: quartzy dirt after a rain
Texas BBQ on Saturdays :: corn roasts on Sundays
the trash dumpster of the townhouse complex next door :: javelinas marking my porch
East Palo Alto ambient sound v. Avra Valley ambient sound
car alarms :: roosters
car alarms :: turkeys
car alarms :: donkeys
car alarms :: cows down the road
car alarms :: curve-billed thrashers
arguing thugs with tattoos that say "sin esperanza" :: doves that coo "no hope"
