People love to put up signs

This one is at one of the marinas; I guess stones might...hit the boats? Fill in the channel? Become a hazard for...birds?

It's sometimes hard to decipher the rationale for putting up certain signs, if not the meaning of the sign itself. I mean, how big a problem was stone-throwing prior to the signs (of which there are several along the path)? Is it simply a matter of decorum?

Get Spanked

At some point, I will write a bit more about why Alameda has so many hair and nail salons. I have never seen such a concentration of them as can be seen near Park Street especially. There's easily a dozen of them within a couple miles of each other. How they can possibly all stay in business, I'll never know. Or maybe I will know, if I investigate a bit. Last week we saw a new one, up near the marinas in the northeast section of the island.
