Acatl 11 Topilzin Quetzacoatl – parking lot mural
This mural is also in the parking lot accessible from 3rd street. It is by Carlos Rodriguez (https://www.carlosrodriguezart.com/) who does so many beautiful murals that I am drawn to. His work is always striking with engaging subjects, lines, and his use of color pulls me in further.

Santa Clara County Fair
This new mural is up at the Santa Clara County Fair Grounds to celebrate the fair’s 80 years. Mural by @1984.yo.
This year’s fair, going on now, has rides, pig races, fighting robots, and lots of farm animals. I enjoyed the displays of handmade items by county residents of all ages like blankets, jams, artworks, clothing and more. And the geology exhibit and reptile exhibits had friendly people from whom I learned new things.
There was also this art gallery exhibit with lots to appreciate.
Out and about, some other things you may see are at the fair are…
Krazy George riding around in an old San Jose fire truck! That is Krazy George, inventor of The Wave that you see at sporting events, in the red shirt on back of the truck.
Bike tricks that were super impressive and which photos do not capture well…

Stanford University with a Flip Phone
That is pay phone, in a stone hall, at Stanford University. I wonder how often it is used these days. Photo taken by a flip phone of the kind that came along to make pay phones far harder to find starting several years ago.
