A succesful Bay-to-Breakers! As I sit kneeding my sore legs, I realized that to many people, a 5-mile run is a daily event. I guess I don't run enough. Here are some pictures. Documentation was a bit sparse this year, I appologize...

Ya, so another beautiful Friday. I have been following the Monkey Man panic in New Delhi with quite some interest. There is somebody, or several somebodies, wandering around in the middle of the night in a monkey-suit terrorizing the citizens of New Dehli, who tend to sleep on their roofs to keep cool at night. The populace is so scared and superstitious that they are taking to leaping from their roofs in fear when a cry goes up in the neighborhood that the monkey man has been sighted. Two people have apparantly died by doing this, but the monkey man himself has only inflicted a few minor injuries.

Last night the crank broke on my bike in the middle of Market St. This is the second time this has happened for no apparant reason. Don't buy 'ovation' cranks, they obviously stink. Nothing else of great importance has happened this week...

More Chaos on the streets! There is a gigantic inflatable rat floating above the corner at work, and a few hundred irate union members screaming at the top of their lungs and blasting blow-horns. It sound's like a riot out there, as I peacefully type away... a nice departure from the usual sound of traffic.

The neghborhood is particularily out of control this morning. There is a guy sound asleap in the middle of the sidewalk in front of my house, and local nut-case Frank Chiu is wandering around screaming at tourists. I've never seen him in the Haight before. I was going to say hello, but he is going ballistic down there so I decided to keep my distance. Apparantly some tourists took his photo without permision, so he's trying to get money out of them. Don't mess with Frank!
