(Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2006) Today’s bike and proof shots: [thumb:736:c:l=p] [thumb:737:c:l=p] Today I took another long walk through San Francisco, beginning around 1st and Mission. In addition to the Financial Center (makes sense, given my starting point and the general direction I decided on), I strolled through the Japantown, Cathedral Hill, and Tenderloin neighborhoods, ending […]

(Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2006) First, today’s bike shot for The Boyfriend: [thumb:672:c:l=p] Next, today’s proof shots: [thumb:673:c:l=p] I had 2 goals for today’s “explore” (as Winnie the Pooh would say): 1) To walk all the way up San Francisco’s Filbert Steps; and 2) to get a closer look at the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. […]

(Monday, Sept. 4, 2006) No bike shots today, but I do have a proof shot … [thumb:623:c:l=p] …proof that I went to the University of California Botanical Garden (UCBG; at University of California Berkeley): [cpg_album:85,5] I walked through a lot of the garden, but I know I didn’t see it all. It’s very beautiful. Different […]

(Sunday, Sept. 3, 2006) I stuck close to home base today. I have a bit of a sunburn & thought I should spend some time out of the sun for a change. Nevertheless, I did manage to snap a few pictures. First, some biking related stuff for The Boyfriend (TB): [thumb:601:c:l=p] And, partly for TB […]

(Saturday, Sept. 2, 2006) I ended up hanging around Berkeley again today. Spur of the moment this afternoon, I decided to take the bus into downtown San Francisco, forgetting that one deck of the Bay Bridge is closed all weekend — the deck that “my” bus uses. I wasn’t sure if BART (Bay Area Rapid […]

(Friday, Sept. 1, 2006) No pictures for TB today. I saw a man riding his bike while using a portable oxygen tank but didn’t take a picture because the O2 tank was stowed in his backpack, and I didn’t think the nasal tube would show in a photo. Now that’s a dedicated cyclist! If TB […]

(Thursday, Aug. 31, 2006) Today’s biking sign for The Boyfriend (TB), once again from Missing Link Bicycle Co-op: [thumb:512:c:l=p] New words include: Knobby; Lights; Maps; Nut; Oil; Pedals; Quick release; Ride; Slow leak. And a couple of photos for one of TB’s other obsessions: Small, fuel-efficient cars, like this Smart Car Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV): […]

(Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2006) First and foremost, today’s biking pictures for TB: [thumb:419:c:l=p] And today’s “proof” shots: [thumb:486:c:l=p] Seattle has poetry on the buses; Berkeley has poetry on the underpasses. Actually, it’s one underpass, at University and I-80. You’ll see the first 6 supports heading south (out of Berkeley), the next 6 heading north, and […]

(Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2006) Before I forget, this first picture is for my friend, Joyce, who once pointed out that I rarely (if ever) show myself or other people in my photos. Joyce said something like it was “unusual” or “creepy” or “disturbing” and must mean that I “never go anywhere” and I was “obviously […]

(Monday, Aug. 28, 2006) Yep, I’m back in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yep, I was here with The Boyfriend (TB) in early June, and last September. What can I say? I’m in love — or maybe just addicted. This time, I’m on my own. TB is at home, partly because he has one of […]
