    Tuesday I came into work Market to Laguna to Grove to Polk to California to Leidesdorff I headed home for lunch and hard a terrible time getting back to work because of all the protests.  Which are totally pointless.  Because they're very unfocused and only have the affect of irritation people and making them not give a shit what the message is if there is one.  And also because they're protesting in the finanacial district and not Sacramento where they might actually get an audience that could actually enact change. And the more disruptive and especially smashy-smashy things they're doing only serve to push them to margins and further diminish the chances of their getting anything done. 

    After work I headed off 2nd to Howard.  I stopped at 10th for pics of pretty St. Joseph's which is decommissioned and I'm assuming facing the wrecking ball sooner rather than later.  It's like a ruin in process:

    I continued on Howard to 11th to Folsom to 15th to Valencia to tour the damage on Valencia from the riots the night before.  They got most of it cleaned up and it looked pretty good.  I continued to Tiffany to 29th to San Jose to Monterey to Ridgewood to Flood to Hazelwood to Greenwood to Plymouth to Wildwood to Faxon to De Montefort.  I stopped for pics of pretty St. Emydius--  the patron saint of earthquakes:

    Here's a video of it that you can watch.  I took Ashton to Pico to Urbano and stopped for a pic of a pretty house with what was once the El Rey theater and is now a church rising behind it:

    I continued on Urbano to Moncada where I took a bunch of pics of the pretty homes found there:

    I continued on Moncada to Ocean to San Leandro and took some pics of some of the fabulous Saint Francis Wood homes:

    I continued on San Leandro to Portola to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner.  After dinner we went to bed early.  It had been a long ass day.
