The Pandas - well, specifically, this Panda - padded all the way down to San Jose to help local cleanup hero Andy / Pengweather and his 25+ Peng Pals clean an enormous amount of crap out of Coyote Creek. Everyone did an amazing job and busted their busy little chops for hours in the rain - solid work, folks, and very well organized Andy!!! As an aside, it's a real shame that the people who developed the Bay didn't have a better eye for natural beauty. We could have preserved these creekside corridors as lovely lush parks with paths and picnic areas for everyone to enjoy and wildlife to flourish. Instead, we paved them over, fenced them off, and built boring strip malls and stroads - snore. Sooner or later, we'll wake up to the fact that mountains of cash and crap aren't making us happy and that community and flourishing nature are where life's real wealth is at. Restoring Coyote Creek to what it looked, sounded, and felt like 500 years ago - minus the grizzly bears and wolves - would be a fantastic step in that direction!
