Last Sunday, my husband and I took Bella, our big black lab, out for a walk in our east Los Gatos neighborhood. I noticed some tagging - very unusual for our Silicon Valley community - so snapped a couple of pics and sent them off to the Los Gatos Police Department. I also copied my pal Alastair Dallas, who runs the online news journal, The Los Gatos Observer. (He has a great book, Los Gatos Observed.) Anyway, the Observer carried a piece on this - graffitti in town and how fast it was cleaned up on Wednesday evening. Today, Thursday, I got a call from NBC 11's Daniel Garza asking if they could interview me on this subject. Of course I said yes (those of you who speak DISC, I'm a "high I".)Daniel and his camera operator, Mark (Marc?) did a great job. I had explained my penchant for snapping pics and getting them online as being that of a blogger, but in retrospect wished I'd said "real estate blogger". There's the advantage of the written word: you can edit it!
If you'd like to see the graffitti piece on San Jose's NBC 11, here's the link:

See what can happen when you have the habits of a blogger?
Out and About with your camera and making a difference too! That is a wonderful thing for your community.
Carole - you're right, we never know! Thanks for stopping by :-)
