  I was a pretty beat Monday morning after the long weekend of riding.  I went down to work on Market and managed to make it home for lunch.  Mimi’s been watching Fox News again and she’s all excited about Rand Paul because she loves some of the comments he’s been making about civil rights lately.  You see,  Mimi’s been wanting to open a restaurant for the longest time but has balked at serving “undesirables”.  But with Mr. Paul, she thinks that she can finally realize her dream of opening a restaurant where only her Daddy, Abuelita, Quela, and Nathan are welcome.  Ashley Jr. and I might get to go periodically but we’ll have to sit at a table in the kitchen and we won’t get any wine. 

  I came back from lunch on my road bike because it had to go get a little lovin’ at Mike’s and the store in Sausalito had ominously warned me about how backed up they were.  After work I headed off 2nd to Howard and stopped in at Mike’s.  Thankfully, all my bike needed was a couple of tweaks and I was out of there in a few minutes.  I learned that they take appointments at Mike’s which is genius because that’s much better than every other bike shop I’ve ever been to where you drop off the bike when it needs something and pick it up when it’s done.  I continued on Howard to 11th to Harrison to 17th.  This is the old Mission Police Station.  It was sold a couple of years ago.  I’m not sure what it is now but it’s such a great building:

  

  

  I saw this great ad for Hendrick’s Gin on a building on 17th.  It’s advertising a cucumber and gin cocktail:

  

  

  

  The view at 17th and Mission:

  

  I continued on 17th to Noe to Market to 17th to Ord and home for dinner.  I was pretty beat and we were asleep before 9.
