Make a window washer love you

Wonder where to get that wonderful removable and reusable tape for hanging posters in windows?  It can be hard to find.  One Monterey County store that stocks it is Alpha Stationers, 221 Forest Ave, Pacific Grove; 831/372-4388 (no website).

The signs in the window at the  Salinas Valley Fish House make it very clear that they support community efforts.

Here, cyclist Steve Nichols became aware of the

Bicycling Monterey/HER Helmet Thursdays projects.
