I'm pleased to see that Squat & Gobble is still turning out my favorite breakfast - the unbeatable #6 bagel on poppyseed. I think I might have to go back for seconds. Also unchanged is glorious Haight Street. The same wasted old bums staggering everywhere. I even witnessed a rare SF expression of violence the other day - when the bums fight they don't physically attack each other - rather, they knock over eachother's shopping carts sending bottles and cans everywhere. What a mess.

It is, however, a stunningly beautiful day here in San Francisco, and bumfights aside, you have to love the place. Time to get outside and enjoy it.
