Yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle carried an opinion piece regarding congestion in the city and the problems of the transit system. There’s a suggestion that a $3 a day congestion charge might be introduced to reduce car traffic, but the author suggests that before that can be imposed then the public transport network needs to be [...]
… and no mistake!
It is a well-known fact about San Francisco that it gets fog. In fact, to call San Francisco foggy is like calling Manchester wet. San Francisco gets FOG.
It’s a source of some (strange) annoyance to The Mrs that we live in one of the city’s various micro-climates and it’s one where we [...]
The Mrs and I need a casserole dish. Nothing fancy. A simple, deep, probably earthenware casserole dish with a lid. We have one of that exact type back in London and it serves its purpose admirably.
There are three shops within shouting distance of the office which ought to be suitable to the task of procuring one, Sur [...]
Quiet, isn’t it?
Once upon a time there was a lot of noise made on the web about World AIDS Day, with projects like Link and Think (see various postings on my old blog) encouraging bloggers to join in with the more formal coverage of the day and the spread of the disease. The BBC News [...]
Heard earlier today that my former cat Dillon has died. She came to live with my ex, Chris, and I in 1997 ‘for a few weeks’ while her then-owner was between homes, and never left. Chris and I had her in joint custody even after we split up, then when he left for his world [...]
So here we are - first Thanksgiving since we moved to the US - I had one T Day over here before back in 1999 when I was living in New York. We had various workmates over and did the whole thing properly with a turkey dinner.
This year two of The Mrs’ friends are in [...]
Been a bit all over the shop - had the trip to Santa Barbara, when I drove through an area that two days later was engulfed in flames, then on Wednesday night we went to the cinema to see Role Models, which I’ll review separately, before, yes my friends, we are indeed this sad: lining [...]
Not, surprisingly, a posting about the Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross debacle, but a posting about the Russell Brand live show The Mrs and I went to last night. Yes, unexpectedly, he’s here in San Francisco for two nights, with last night being the second.
I’ve never seen him do stand up live, and it being so [...]
Owing to an unexpected change of circumstances, rather than getting out of town for the day on Saturday and heading north into Marin as we’d originally planned, we found ourselves lacking vehicular transport and instead decided some exercise was a reasonable option. Heading to Fisherman’s Wharf, we stopped in at the Blazing Saddles outlet and [...]
This being a relatively early weekend in our collected San Francisco life, we gave some of it over to exploring the city, and specifically today we’ve been to Golden Gate Park. We made the foolish assumption that we could just turn up to the recently reopened Academy of Arts and Science, but that was foolish. [...]
