OAKLAND -- With his signature railroad cap, broom and dustpan, Michael Lydon is easy to spot on Piedmont Avenue, especially because he's one of the few people out and about when the sun is just rising and most shops are closed.
He's also the busiest, sweeping up cigarette butts, candy wrappers and any other piece of litter he comes across.
It's a job he has been doing -- without pay -- since 1979.
"You're out in the fresh air," the 69-year-old said as he swept a crushed paper cup from the gutter outside Fentons Creamery. "You're doing something positive. How could anyone not want to do this?"

His walk, which can begin as early as 6 a.m., takes him up and down both sides of Piedmont Avenue, from Pleasant Valley Road to West MacArthur Boulevard. He empties his dustpan in the street's garbage cans along the route.
On a recent morning, the Rev. Tim Johnson, Catholic priest at the Church of Saint Leo the Great, was the first to greet Lydon. Johnson, carrying hand weights, was out for his morning exercise. Then a woman wearing earbuds said hello as she jogged past.
"She's trying to lose weight," Lydon whispered, before pausing outside Starbucks, where a customer inside had knocked on the coffee shop's window to get his attention.
"Hey there," Lydon said as he pointed at the man, waved and continued cleaning the street.
Litter accumulates more in some areas than others, Lydon said. Bus stops and benches are particularly bad, and some merchants never sweep the sidewalk outside their shops.

This picture does not show an electric car charging in 1905. It's fourteen years off, but that's just the start of things.
This is indeed an old electric car charging, but it was taken in 1919, as the Library of Congress notes. The first tipoff is that the car is a Detroit Electric, which didn't start production until 1907. Here's the picture in full.
What's interesting is that there was electric car charging earlier in the 20th century, and even charging stations. General Electric showed off an 'electrant' (like an electric fire hydrant) for street charging in New York City all the way back in 1900, as a contemporary electrician's journal reports, and they kept making them at least through 1914.
The thing is, electric car charging around the turn of the century might look pretty modern in photographs, it was a much more involved process. Battery technology was way behind where we are now. Tons of corrosion needed regular cleaning and battery themselves could easily be overcharged. You'd have to get a custom-built control panel, as the excellent book Taking Charge: the Electric Automobile In America explains. Some early electric car buyers took the step of hiring their own electrician.
So yes, we did have electric car charging over a century ago, it just didn't look quite as it does in this picture.
