I pulled up to a gas pump off I-80 this morning, somewhere between the Bay Area and Sacramento, and had a funny thought:
“I don’t know where I am, but at least I’m out of there!”
My buddy Betty recently commented on the fact that I had no beach shots. Well, I was just waiting for the Pacific Ocean beaches to have nobody on them but me.
Ok, the Elephant Seals were hanging out, but they live here on this nude beach!
I was heading to Grant and Skoge’s place out on Masonic but I missed a critical exit and dropped into downtown at the beginning of rush hour. No problem I thought, if I can find Van Ness I can find Geary and then Masonic. Besides, I survived L.A., I can handle this.
And hour later I had been in the Castro District, up on a big hill via Market Street, all the way along the Embarcadero, with thousands of tourists, through Fishermans Wharf with millions of tourists and I still hadn’t found my streets. Hey, it’s been a long time since I drove this insane town!
I finally got there and Skoge (my friend of 40 years) and I had a great time playing with her I-Pad. So, as to my opening comment, San Francisco was “there”.
Great Post. Love the pictures of the seals and the calamari. Beautiful beach shots. Glad you had a great Birthday.
Two questions: How many times did you click Refresh, and when are you getting off the phone? ;-)
About 50 times :-) I am off the phone now.
Glad to see some beach, but I think I was thinking the ones with people. But must say the seals where interesting. And of course I Never expected you to take pictures of a all nude beach HA HA. I don’t think those seals had cloths on. Kind of looked like the day was a little shady and chilly.
Oh by the way a late HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JIM HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
Thanks Mom!
July 24th, huh? Well, it won’t be forgotten from here on out. Although, in my defense, I did not know when your birthday was…I’m glad you got some of the infamous calamari!!!
Actually it’s the 23rd, I just posted it a day later. How are you K? Hope your summer’s great!
