Rolling around SF the right way

BLOGGER SUCKS! god the formatting is so awful. GRRRR.

When you work down the peninsula, it's easy to forget how nice a sunny weekday in the city is. Today I had to take the car in for service and had an appointment on California St., so it was a perfect opportunity to cruise around on my old track bike with no particular agenda.

This manhole cover on California St. is interesting. Hetch Hetchy Power? Water yes, but I didn't know until I saw this that there was a power company.
This is Lafayette Park, in Pac Heights. Cool park, great for dogs. Nice big canary island palm.

"Google Docs is currently in read only mode. Changes will not be saved."

WTF does this mean? My guess is the servers are hosed (again), and some unscheduled maintenance is happening. In typical fashion, Google tells you nothing useful, such as "services are projected to be restored in XYZ timeframe". As I need to send a rental agreement to a new tenant, this is really friggin' annoying. Now I have to use Msoft Word, the most retarded thing ever. Sucks. Get it together Google!

Len's "Steal My Sunshine" secret riff

damn, I didn't know she was a porn star before becoming a disco sensation, heh heh.
