ninety-nine; Amber Bob and Ripple (the dog), Mountain Bike


The world often appears divided into binaries; black/white, giver/taker…
She’s a testament to the beauty of grey.
Her basket loaded with clothes for donation, she watches kids and teaches people how to weave hemp jewelry, (like Ripple’s collar, holding a cork-sized capsule with a personal message replacing dog-tags).
She got into FNB because, she “needed to eat, they were vegan.”
She gives back with her homegrown vegetables.
Family brought her back to Berkeley, though traveling peppered her heart across the states.
She even shares with her atmosphere, carrying tiny speakers flavoring the streets with a taste of 1967 era Beatles.
