Weird statue in Palo Alto
This is one of the weirdest child-dream world view pieces of public art I've ever seen - right on main street, too - go Palo Alto!!

It's like if Minnie Mouse and Pinocchio had a love child.

i don't quite get how this is in honor of wine... looks more like a cautionary tale
this is near the base of a huge bronze(?) jar-shaped sculpture with nymphs, satyrs and cherubs partying all over it - I guess the insects are part of the 'Nature" in all it glory and yuchiness motif - I'll post pic of whole thing soon

OMG. This rules.

I've only been to Golden Gate Park once. At the end of May, I came up a few days early before my AIDS/LifeCycle Ride started and my team rode Critical Mass. After they left downtown, we headed through Haight/Ashbury and then to GGP.

God, what a gorgeous place. I need to come up north and explore the area so badly!

organic... or pre-pesticide

you won't regret it (i'm a firm believer that all califas natives... or transplants, for that matter... should explore and be familiar with it from one end to the other.

spiders have allways played a solid part in vineyard pest management, now days the insecticides they use are usually designed not to impact the spiders and other vineyard predators
