    Went home over lunch and the dogs were still exhausted from the weekend.  Sleepy dogs are well behaved dogs.  After work, I headed out to McLaren Park.  I rode out Market to Valencia.  I tried again to get a good picture of the new city college building:

    It's such a great building.  I just love it!  The thing I like about San Francisco architecture is that there's an exuberance that isn't always successful (like the Museum of Modern Art) but at least they're trying and you gotta get credit for that.  I continued down Valencia to Mission where I must have pissed off four assholes in a BMW SUB because they insisted on screaming in my ear everytime they passed me in stop and go traffic.  Yikes!  They all had this crazed Simian look and I was afraid they were going to start flinging their feces at me so I didn't flip them off.  Then I went through Saint Mary's Park over the pedestrian footbridge to Cambridge and then into McLaren Park.  It wasn't foggy like the last time I was there and I got some pretty pics of the bay:

    And also one of me looking delighted:

    Then I headed home Persia to Ocean to Phelan to Flood to Foerster to Teresita to Portola to Corbett home.  Mr. Poe had taken Rufus to the vet and the news is good.  He's in great shape and we're doing everything right.  He's up to 45 pounds which means he's gaining 3 pounds a week and the vet thinks he's going to top off at about 90 pounds.  Which is more than Nicole Richie.  That's a whole lotta dog!!  I took Rufus to the dog park after dinner to play with his friends and then after, Mr. Poe and I took both the dogs for a walk in Ashbury Heights.  Here I am walking them both:

    I don't think I've ever seen Mimi as happy as she's been since we've gotten Rufus.  She loves him.  And she loves bossing him around.  And she loves that he's always in trouble.  We continued down Downey where I saw this house.  If I'm not mistaken, it's covered in pressed tin which I've never seen on the exterior of a building before.

    We headed home and everybody went to bed.  It was 9PM.  Total bicycle mileage:  30
