Strange things I've noticed this week:

At Costco, there was a woman buying 8 20-pc dish sets of Royal Albert Old Country Rose. It's a good dish set being bone china, but kind of tacky because the roses are shocking pink and they're decorated with gold as well. Why was the woman buying 8 sets of this stuff?

Walking past a car brake and muffler shop, I happened to glance in the window and there was a television in the office with a naked girl talking. Porno at the car fix-it place? So not original, but now it's a naked girl talking on TV and not just a calendar of naked girls.

The SF police are doing a stakeout in Golden Gate Park. As you drive southbound from Park Presidio to 19th Avenue, there's a bunch of cop cars and cops on motorcycles. Not sure what they're looking for, but they're all there blocking traffic in the rain.

Walking down Geary street this afternoon, I could smell hippie lettuce ganga burning. Having grown up in Hawaii where the stuff is grown, I can recognize that smell a mile away. I turned around thinking there was someone smoking a doobie behind me, and there was no one there. I looked up ahead and noticed there was a Hemp Center store. Guess they were sampling the merchandise.

Well the blog is fixed now, but I had to republish my entire site. I kind of liked that it was in different colours in different months.

Oh well! At least it's working now.

My blog is broken. I've been writing posts, but they haven't been updating since yesterday afternoon. If the blog is updating, I can't see it.

If you can see this post, please email me and let me know.

If you're a fan of Philip K. Dick, the famous scifi writer whose stories were the basis for movies such "Minority Report" and "Blade Runner", you'll appreciate this article on him.
