    Yuck  It was a bitterly cold, horribly wet morning and I wouldn't have gone biking at all but I didn't realize how bad it was until I was too far out to turn around.  I headed out Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel.  As I headed down Taravel it started raining really hard and it was incredibly cold.  My feet and fingers were numb by the time I got down to the Great Highway, but luckily it had stopped raining.  I went into Golden Gate Park and took MLK to Chain of Lakes to JFK all the way into the panhandle.  Then I took Baker to Golden Gate to Market to Sansome and into work.  I took advantage of a break in the rain to head home around lunch.  It was still pretty cold but at least it had dried out a little.  This is 14th and Market.  Mr. Poe likes the restaurant in this building but finds the portions too small:

    This new building is at 14th and Landers.  It's really nice, but it's kind of intrusive and I think I would have liked it a little better if it had been a floor shorter.

    This lovely Victorian is on 17th at Castro.  You can get your junk pierced here and then go next door and have a waffle when you're done.  Now THAT's convenience.

    Here I am in front of the potter barn:

    I found this at Market and Castro.  Isn't somebody going to miss that??

    On the way back from lunch I got a shot of the Mint which is so cool looking:

    After work I headed off Sutter to Filmore to Clay to Arguello to McAllister to Stanyon to Hayes to Scott to Duboce to Castro to 17th and then home.  It started raining on me again in Pacific Heights and I was soaking wet and VERY crabby by the time I got home.
