1. when I was a energy company security person back in the 00s my intrusion detection system hit on a VNC signature and I had a network capture running so I went and carved it out and replayed the video of it and it looked just like this and I panicked a little (I had no idea what our actual control systems looked like) and then called the worker who I saw on the other end of it

   they were doing volunteer work for their local ice skating rink

2. and someone from the parks service walked over and gave us three huge trash bags and asked that we make sure to clean up after ourselves, which of course we had planned to, and did, but that was nice

3. someone approached and asked how we booked the spot because they wanted to do the same thing so I got to relate that story, then they took a picture one of the grills we were using, which I thought was weird, but I guess people just do that anymore

4. the picnic was a success, we used two of the grills, four or five of the tables, and some of us grabbed e-bikes back to work downtown from the parking racks up the street because the ride from Chase to the Ferry Building is pretty nice even on a cool day
