Success.

Almost a year? No time. Foreclosures everywhere. There are too many dogs at the shelter. I am there, at the Oakland Animal Shelter, on Friday giving away pit bulls for a dollar. Forget that pure breed, $1000 designer dog and welcome to Oakland, the pit bull capital of the world.

Adopt a Pit.

Plague of Killing

What do I know about it. I am just some white girls who lives in East Oakland. My lab partner at Laney has a cousin who was killed last year in a drive by.

Soon I will be working at Highland Hospital in ICU. It will be an interesting perspective on the violence here.

No Love From Oakland



Oakland just ranked 4th in the national's most dangerous cities, up from 8th last year. Most of it is concentrated in East and West Oakland. I live in "Upper East Oakland".
Still.

Note to the Rational Dress Society

The pinafore was a type of apron that was pinned over the dress and easily removed for washing. Buttons were frequently damaged with lye cleaning products, which was one reason why dresses were not laundered very often. The pinafore had no buttons, was simply "pinned on the front" which led to the term "pinafore."

A related term is pinafore dress, which is British English for what in American English is known as a jumper dress, i.e. a sleeveless dress intended to be worn over a top or blouse. A key difference between a pinafore and a jumper dress is that the pinafore is open in the back. In informal British usage however, a pinafore dress is sometimes referred to as simply a pinafore, which can lead to confusion.

Pinafores may be worn by girls as a decorative garment and by both girls and women as a protective apron. The name reflects that the pinafore was formerly pinned (pin) to the front (afore) of a dress.
