Really? It's already flea market time??

Apparently so, and if you're in the neighborhood on Sunday, it's worth a visit. There's always something to buy, things to long for, odd and interesting people to watch, and every year the size and scope of the event, as well as the actual stuff for sale (and, of course, the traffic and parking behavior) all tell you something about the state of our world.

Also, may I take this opportunity to say Yahoo's new version of Flickr is STILL AWFUL?

Thank you.
