happy Birthday

A radio station here just remarked that today is San Francisco's birthday, they've been playing music along that theme "San Francisco Days " by Isaak and Jack Johnson's "Where'd All the Good People Go?."

One of my favorite quotes about The City is by Herb Caen, the famous columnist, who'd write 1,000 words columns every day for the SF Chronicle.

"San Francisco isn't what it used to be, and it never was."

This is the one place in the world that has it all; perfect weather for the most part, good industries, beautiful people, freaks and yuppies and gangstas and people who prefer to have their freak flag hanging over the couch in the living room.

What other city has a better Halloween or Pride weekend?

They say California is the land of fruits and nuts, and to a certain point agree. Let me ask this question though, which kind of salad would you prefer? Plain old iceberg lettuce or something with a few more ingredients. Fruit salad is a summertime treat, salad is just something to tide you over while they cook your meal at the restaurant. a tossed salad is more than just greens; it's apples and walnuts, and some cheese shredded, and a few slices of red onion, and some vinaigrette. Toss the ingredients in a bowl, put it on a plate, and some steak on top. you have yourself a feast before you.

Some of the technological leaps we've encountered came from right here in the Bay area and a few miles down the peninsula. World is running out of oil, odds are, a solution will be found. And it will most likely be discovered here
