Tree Hugging Neighbors

(You'll have to pause my music playlist to hear the sound on the video)

So I left for my run this morning, turned the corner, and then I saw the sidewalk barricaded with a bunch of policeman on one side and a bunch of hippies on the other side. Across the street there were news crews staking out a chunk of the sidewalk to park their vans. One of the protesting hippies held a sign saying "Save the Oaks" with a website so I checked it out when I got home. As is turns out tomorrow is the day the court is deciding whether it is legal for the university to cut down the trees to build a new sports complex. The Berkeley Grandmothers for the Oaks are inviting everyone to a candlelight vigil tonight and a slumber party at the oak grove tomorrow night . Just another bit of Berkeley for ya!
