  • Thursday, January 31

    I was dry this morning for the first time in what seems like forever.  I headed off Corbett to Portola to Evelyn to Teresita into Foerster to Monterey   This house is on Monterey at West Gate:

    Here's a shot of me as well:

    I continued on Monterey where I saw this piece of Tudorliciousness:

    I continued on Monterey to San Leandro to Ocean to Sunset to Yorba to 40th to Wawona and down to the coast.  I came up the Great Highway and went into Golden Gate Park at MLK.  I took Chain of Lakes to JFK and I followed it into the Panhandle.  Then I took Baker to McAllister and into Civic Center.  This is the Asian Art Museum:

    I headed up Larkin where I spied the Hotel Essex at Larkin and Ellis.  It's under renovation I like the paint job except for the orange which troubles me greatly.  Tangerine??  What were they thinking??  I think the sign is new as well and I'm loving that.  And I can even get past the color scheme because I like any signs of improvement in the Tenderloin:

      

    I continued on Larkin to Bush to Sansome and into work
