    I only got about two hours of sleep last night because I was still on Hawaii time and also because Rufus, my precious puppy, is afraid of the heat and every time it clicked on he started crying and I didn't figure this out until almost 2AM.  I managed to crawl out of bed at 5 and get on my bike, which I'd missed almost as much as the dogs, and I headed out Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and out to the ocean and then I rode up Ocean Beach to Carbrillo and took it to Arguello and then McCallister to Parker to Golden Gate.  I found this piece of Tudor-liciousness at Central and Golden Gate:

    It's two units now but I'll bet it used to be one.  The side view was even better but I didn't get a shot of that.  Here's me with my freakshow tan I got in Hawaii:

    Then disaster struck  My camera fell out of my backpack while I was coming down Golden Gate.  With all of my vacation photos still on it.  Which really, really sucked.  I didn't figure out it was missing until Golden Gate and Hyde at which point I retraced my steps and looked for it but to no avail.  It was gone.  I moped my way down Golden Gate to market and then into work.  When I got into work I checked Craigslist and unbelievably someone had found my camera.  I e-mailed him and a half hour later I was heading over to his office to pick it up.  And he wouldn't even let me kick him some reward money.  Unbelievable.  Here he is:  Kevin, the nicest, honestest man in San Francisco:

    PS if I would have known he was this hot I probably would have arranged to pick up the camera at his house....

    I didn't get out of work until late so I rode right up Market home.
