What no free parking?
Two hours free for city residents year-round, two hours free for everybody from November to April!
The daylight hours are getting shorter
If you are headed downtown here it is quicker and easier (and cheaper) to take mass transit or ride a bike
Our city hall and one of our landmarks called Coit Tower are both lit up orange at night. In honor of the SFGiants
Food trucks are ubiquitous and we even have whole areas dedicated to food trucks. One has patios and entertainment. Going there tonight to watch baseball with all the youngsters.

Just wear these
I think all will be well. Also if you could sing Ghost and Gale tunes ( ok I actually dig what they are laying down... ) that would help.
Here in Miami, we are bracing for the season's first blast of bone-chilling sub-80 degree highs. Weighty decisions on whether to run the pool heater lie just around the corner.
The first snowbirds have arrived, to be followed by a herd of nomadic street people.
The season's first stone crabs rest on beds of ice at the fish market.
Speaking of birds, various migratory (non-human) fowl can be seen. Hawks are on the prowl, evidenced by patches of blue jay feathers on the ground.
Office coffee talk about the Florida governor's race, apparently Our Beloved Gov refused to debate his opponent because of the presence of a small electric fan on the opponent's podium. They're calling it "Fangate." Yet another sinkhole in the vast swamp known as FL politics...
Looking forward to this (relatively) mildew-free time of year.

Back when I was a kid, we thought we were being rebellious and misunderstood. Now I know we were just punk kids misbehaving. When we didn't do our homework, it was because homework was stupid and irrelevant. Now I know it was just being lazy and kinda dumb. I don't think the quality of kids has gone down. We are just cranky old fogeys now. Kids these days...
Yup I was too. Self absorbed, terrified and trying to figure out my place in the world. Eventually accepting that I am an oddball and that is a good thing. That took a long, long, time. In fact I still have to pause and remind myself of that sometimes.
My quirkiness doesn't make me better or worse than anyone else it is just who I am. It is also important to remind myself not to get smug because I am so awesome.
The world looks different when you are sitting in a tree stand with a bow at dawn.
It's just yourself, god and his creation.
That was a photo from a local news site.
This is my little piece of heaven

Not yet.
It is so warm and clear at night. They just aren't moving during legal hours.
It is perfect weather for hunting, but not for killing.
I enjoy the hunt, that's why I use a bow.
Technically, that's a subspecies of the common North American Hipster, known as the Lumberjack Hipster.
