Leavenworth findings
Two men urinating in public, on spindly trees that barely hid their shame.
A rock shaped like a tooth, lying on the sidewalk.
Four instances of malt liquor.

Fritz Maytag sells Anchor Brewing Company. →
It’s going to be fine, really. He wouldn’t just hand it to any schmoes. The new owners are the Skky vodka dudes, and they’re local, so they know how fearful San Franciscans are of change.
Y’know, just don’t mess with this stuff or the beer (an acquired taste, according to some) and we’re square.

He shook my hand firmly
and looked into my eyes and told me, no, declared: “If I get to heaven or wherever and I meet God, Buddha, Allah, or Him or Her: whatever! I will give my sincere thanks for the opportunity to have lived in San Francisco in the 1960s and early 70s. It was like no other place on earth and I am truly grateful for the experience.
Of course, I lived here until ‘81, when it became a...

On place: the naming of John Fante Square →
I’m reminded of what might have been had I stayed: more space to write about, to shoot, to draw, to drive. It’s that last one gets me every time. Back when the Dart was an extension of me, when I didn’t over-think the commute and got up early enough to make a stop (a Cuban coffee in my neighborhood or La Brea Bakery closer to work), life was fine as the smog and weather and...

WatchI thought for sure that I’d run into you in Berlin, but it’s just as well that it didn’t happen, because you blow my mind from this far away as it is.

Never thought I'd say this,
but I just witnessed an act of such utter sweetness at Market and 8th. After giving the gruff homeless man (one of many who stand outside of Burger King) some change, one of the Downs’ Syndrome locals gave him a hug. Gruffy was taken aback, but then gave into it.
Hugs are like special people’s secret weapons.
Okay, back to misanthropy.

“A museum is not only a place where one can enjoy beauty and art, but it helps man to relate himself to his past. A man who dwells only in the past is a fool and a man who only dwells in the present is but half a man.”
Around 9:40, Rauschenberg!
I spend considerable time explaining that the Asian Art Museum is not the DeYoung: the former’s owned by the city, while the...
