Urban Blackberry Pickers

I heard this story and laughed out loud. 

My two favorite quotes:

“There’s something about urban berry-picking that appeals to the northwestern soul – with a little taste of life off the grid on your way to Starbucks, free dessert on a street where parking meters charge two bucks an hour.”  and..

“And in these economic times, there’s some comfort in that thought. No matter what happens at Boeing or Microsoft, we can always count on a steady supply of free blackberries.”

I’m off to pick more tomorrow.  This time I’m going to try jam, with my copy of Mrs. Bury’s canning book.

Also, a random news story about a man found in Discovery Park who lost his identity and has quite the resume.
