    Thursday I worked from home.  Which wasn't good because I only wanted to take a day off the bike this week and I ended up taking three.  Bad Joseph!

    Friday I came into work down Market.  I hate doing that, but I kind or spaced out and missed my turn and was already at Gough before I realized I'd gone too far.  It was a crazy bike/pedestrian/cab/bus mess.  Yuck.  I headed home for lunch and then went for a nice ride after work I headed off 2nd to Townsend to Kansas to 17th to Potrero and stopped at 20th for pics of this recent mural.  It isn't of the greatest quality, but it's pretty and I like the design:

    I continued on Potrero and stopped mouth agape at the sight of the new building going up.  I knew they were doing construction but I had no idea that it was gonna be something this big.  It's enormous!

    I continued on Potrero to 22nd to Bryant to Precita to Mission to Bosworth.  I was looking for a way down to Alemeny off of Bosworth that didn't involve Lyell.  There isn't one Culvier turns into Milton and goes right back to Bosworth up a big hill.  Yuck.  So I took Lyell to Alemeny to Sagamore to Brotherhood and stopped for some pics of the Benny Bufano sculpture that used to be at the international terminal at the airport.  I'm quite fond of his work.  You can read more about him here.  Spoiler alert--  he was a nut! 

    I took Brotherhood to Lake Merced and took a bunch of pics.  I don't remember the last time I took pics at Lake Merced!  It was a beautiful day and I wasn't disappointed:

    I continued on Lake Merced to John Muir to Skyline to the Great Highway.  I stopped for some pics of the ocean:

    Me:

    I continued on to Sloat and stopped for some pics.

    It's been a rough winter and this platform is gonna collapse.

    The Great Highway was closed from Sloat to Lincoln.  The road pretty much sucked but it was nice to be able to ride on it with no cars:

    I headed home and had dinner.  Mr. Poe was at the movies so I was on my own til he came home and then we went to bed.  I was beat.
