    After work I headed of Sansome to Jackson to Davis to drop off my dry cleaning and then up Broadway where I got a nice shot of the Transamerica Pyramid:

    I continued up Broadway and got another shot of the Pyramid at Columbus:

    I continued on Columbus to North Point to Van Ness to Francisco to Laguna to Chestnut to Lyon and into the Presidio.  I got on Lincoln to Storey.  These are some of the gorgeous buildings on Storey in the Presidio:

    I continued on Storey to Ruckman to Ralston to Kobbe to Washington.  I got a few nice shots of the blustery afternoon from Immigrant Point:

    Looking through the trees towards the Richmond:

    Me at Immigrant Point:

    Gorgeous Sky:

    I continued on Washington to Wedermeyer where I stopped to note the progress of the conversion of the spooky hospital in the Presidio into luxury condos.  Which totally sounds like the plot to a slasher flick.  Which is why Mr. Poe and I won't be moving into the room where the sexy teens died a hundred years ago tonight.  They're demolishing the two newer wings of the hospital to make the project smaller which, apparently was a requirement made by the neighbors who were nervous about traffic. 

    I came out of the Presidio at 15th Ave and took Lake to Arguello to Turk to Central to McAllister to Baker to Page to Scott to Duboce to Castro to 17th to Ord and home for dinner.  We headed over to REI to pick up my commuter bike after dinner.  It required a LOT more work than I was hoping it was going to need.  I'm prepping myself for sticker shock because my road bike goes in next month and everything for that is twice what the commuter bike costs.  Ouch!
