    It was cold this morning!  I slept in a little because some dogs were playing.  On the bed.  At 12:30.  And Mimi was barking at them.  Jeff ran Rufus so I still managed to get a good bike in.  I rode Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the coast where it was even colder.  I came up the Great Highway and went into Golden Gate Park at JFK.  I noticed that the Rose Garden has been cut back for the winter.  So sad.  I got a pic of the De Young with the sun behind it:

    And one of me as well:

    I came out of the park at the panhandle and rode through it to Baker to McAllister.  I stopped in Alamo Square to take some pics.  There are a bunch of beautful Victorians in Alamo Square on McAllister:

      

    I've photographed these three identical buildings before.  The crappiest of the three is getting painted.  Finally:

    I continued down McAllister into the Civic Center.  I got a couple pics of city hall.  Which is a little garish:

    And this is the Hayes side of Civic Center with ugly Fox Plaza on the right:

    I continued on McAllister to Larkin to Bush to Sansome and into work.
