A Chinese-lantern covered building in an alley in Chinatown.

This is the Viking Funeral for the Death of Irony. Well, this is before the boat had a mast, was filled with ironic stuff, got covered in gasoline & set on fire to float/sink in the Bay. This photo is part of the test to see if the boat might actually float.

Timo is also unemployed. I met him at his boat in Alameda. We sailed (Ok, motored) from the boat's home to a little restaurant up the way. On the way back, we got to see a bunch of military guys patrolling the bay & the Coast Guard escorting a small boat. It wasn't clear if this was a rescue or a seizure.

This is downtown San Francisco. I was there for a CPR class.

Here's the front door of Grace Cathedral at night.

I made another hat.

We went to see Hearst Castle.

And the bubblegum wall in San Luis Obispo.

And of course, we stayed at the Madonna Inn. (this was quite the surprise to me!)

This is the view from the 27th floor of 101 California.

Don put catnip in the paper bag so the cats would climb inside.

Mira likes to sit in the bathtub.

Morning view from the top of Vallejo street.

Tuesday night Dive Bar at The Saloon in North Beach. This saloon claims to be the oldest bar in San Francisco.

Mira sitting on the scratching post after having consumed catnip.

T-day dinner.

We wuz sheep.

This is in celebration of Buy Nothing Day. I'm the third sheep from the left with the green jacket and jeans.

After leaving Union Square (and the police escort the sheep acquired), we went on a tour of the Cable Car museum.

I transplanted a Calla Lily in my garden.

A walk through Glen Canyon i n Glen Park....who would know that this is in the middle of urban San Francisco?

This is a Yukon Gold potato.

It could be eaten. Or it could be a solution for a plumbing problem.
