    On my way back to work from lunch I noticed that the rainbow flag in the Castro was flying at half mast for Del Martin who died this week.  You can read more about her here. 

    After work I headed off Market to Turk where I got a nice view of the cool recent federal building at Howard and 8th:

    I continued on Turk to Arguello to Cabrillo to 8th and into Golden Gate Park.  I went to the Music Concouse and got some pics of the plaza and the fabulous new California Academy of Science slated to open next month:

    I headed over to MLK and took it to the Great Highway and then took Ulloa.  I stopped at Knockash hill which is a gated community but had an open gate and a nearby sign made the tantalizing promise of public open space.  It led to a hiking path which I didn't take because I was in road shoes and had a bike but I might just stop back with Rufus on a sunny morning.  It's beautiful:

    I continued on Ulloa to Laguna Honda to Portola to Corbett.  I saw my friend Kurt on his way to visit my other friend Rick.  Which was a trat.  I continued on down to Ord and home for dinner.
