Clear, cool, sunny with a hint of Autumn in the air…
Seasons almost never do dramatic changes here in the heart of NorCal…
Da boyz could hardly wait for our daily S&P tour t’day…barely got out of the driveway before they crossed leashes running in opposite directions, a tactic that comes naturally in dogs (I think) ’n doesn’t have t’be learned…
Once upon a time, I tried walking four dogs down our little street…but only once…all four were small, Willy ’n Rusty ’n two weiner dogs whose names I c’n never recall….one is brown with some black ’n t’other is black w’some brown…
Anyway, the four of them t’gether wuz ‘way, ‘way too much for this old man…don’t think I could ever take up dogwalking as a profession…
Took one a’them facebook quizzes…about what Calif city I should ought to live in….said San Francisco…’n I got to admit that San Fran is one ‘a my fav’rit cities in all the whole world…just not San Francisco of t’day…it’s still a pretty location for a city ’n still has pretty much the same population density that it’s always had…three quarters of a million, but that’s becuz that’s all the room they got down there…and one of the biggest problems with The City by the Bay is in getting there…I mean, it’s located in ’The Bay Area’ and that’s just a horrible collection of places, too damn numerous to list, with too many one percenters and too many wannabe’s…
And The Peninsula…omg, a truly loveable place but so full of people that you can hardly move around…BUT, once upon a time, San Francisco and the peninsula was a truly magical place…IF A BODY C’UD JUST GO BACK IN TIME…And you wudn’t have to go back to goldrush dayz or anything like that altho’ it’ud be tempting…I mean, The Gay 90’s on The Barbary Coast…Wow!
Nah! I’m thinking sometime after the earthquake of ’06 after it’d been re-built…maybe the ’20’s ’n the ’30’s….y’know, Dashiel Hammets San Francisco…
Ahhh well, makes a nice fantasy on a lazy day….I use’ta go down there in the ’60’s…but that wuz then ’n this is now ’n I don’t really want to visit my youth…not sure I c’ud get thru it a 2nd time, b’leeve getting thru it once wuz largely a matter of luck…
“I like that old time rock ’n roll, like to reminisce about the days of old…”
