    Foggy Foggy Foggy!  I didn't even look outside when I got up because I knew it was going to be ugly and wasn't disappointed.  The fog was hanging very low over the city and it was cold, damp, and low visibility.  I rode out to Ocean Beach, up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor, and then into the Presidio.  This is the 1914 stables in the Presidio.  They were originally built to house the horses that were used to patrol the area.  It's also the sight of the last watering trough in the city.  Wait.  Isn't that south of Market?

    Mr. Poe was on TV last night!  And not being wrestled to the ground shirtless in the front yard by the sherriff's deputy on "Cops"!  He was at a conference about "No child left behind" and how it's not really working and how it's forcing the schools to spend all their time and energy training children to take tests at the expense of science, music, art, and sports.  Maybe the president should change the name of the initiative to "No test left behind".  Total Mileage: 42
