Hey, @ned.

I looked through the comments here to see if anyone was asking why you might be in Oakland while referencing the past, present and future, but I didn't find anyone doing so. Maybe people know and I'm the only one who doesn't. So, what's going on in Oakland? And is there any particular reason why you quoted what you did?

Hopefully, whatever it is, goes well, and advances the cause of STEEM. Or if not, hopefully you're having a good vacation. :)
