  • Friday, May 4

    When I woke up at 5am I didn't even want to know how wet it was outside so I didn't watch the news.  I was going to leave the house prepared for bad weather anyway and I figured the news wasn't going to tell me anything I wanted to hear.  And I was right.  It was rainy to the top of Corbett, then rainy AND foggy, and then when I finally got under the fog on Taravel at Sunset, the rain started back up.  It was also cold.  I poured on me the whole way up ocean beach but finally started to let up a little but when I got to the top of Geary.  I headed up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor and then headed down to Lake Street and then Arguello to Clay to Steiner where I got some sinister looking pictures of St. Dominic's church:

    I also found this beautiful mural at Steiner at Post:

    By the time I got to the financial district the weather had definitely passed.  I went for a walk with Nick over lunch and it was beautiful outside.  Here's a smiling Nick basking in his last day of work at Maritime Plaza.  I call the jacket "Mustard Mistake":

    Although the jacket certainly is a help because without it his hat-sweater-pants combo was very "Oliver Twist played by a Vidal Sassoon stylist circa 1988" without it.  Zing!

    We walked through Justin Hermann Plaza and saw yet another dog hard at work at one of the booths:

    I believe he's on his coffee break.  Then we walked out the new pier that they built by the Embarcadero.  Pretty!

    I went home after work and did some bike maintenance and then had dinner and went to bed.  Total Mileage:  18.5.
