A Beautiful Winter Day in San Francisco

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

It’s always nice to break up the work day to take a stroll through the Financial District to the pier. Wednesday was a particularly nice day.

This shot is a view of the Ferry Building and Coit Tower. It was taken with an iPhone 3GS.

Trash Can Urinal – San Francisco Could Really Use Some of These

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

It’s hard to walk around the streets of San Francisco without seeing some guy taking a leak in an alley, if you’re lucky, or right out in the open, if you’re not. It’s one of the first things my friend John commented on during his first trip to SF. As it turns out, you don’t see a lot of public urination back in Texas.

New Bike – Day 2

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Went to the grocery store and loaded up. No problems on the way there or on the way back, though the bike was real heavy and tougher to control on the way back. I also cut my finger unleashing the bungee cord with the S hook that was holding on the panniers. That thing is tight and snaps back fast if you don’t have a good grip on it.

On the way to the store I took little detour and cruised along the coastline for a bit looking at the fog overtaking San Francisco. Better weather is definitely a perk of being in Alameda versus the city. I might also point out that it’s 101 in Dallas right now versus sunny and 65 in Alameda. I do not miss the Texas summer.

With all that said, I like the bike and enjoyed taking the bike out rather than the car.

As of now it’s been 3 weeks since I’ve driven the car. Let’s see how long I can go.
