I found this SFGate web page about my new hood, The Sunset and West Portal. I used to live a few blocks from West Portal at one point in my life, so it's kind of fun to read what the web page has to say.

There's an incredibly expensive neighbourhood above West Portal, called St. Francis Wood. The hood has fountains, a roundabout, and huge houses on big plots (mansions), with expensive cars like hummers and rolls on every block. West Portal has 4 banks, its own satellite Charles Schwab office, antique stores, and a few investment bank offices.

A friend who grew up here told me West Portal is where the rich people go to live, when they've gotten tired of living on Nob Hill or in Cow Hollow. And if they really get tired of the city, they move to Hillsborough in Burlingame and buy a condo on Nob Hill for when they want to party in the city.

Here's a map showing how the City and County of San Francisco voted during the November 4th mayoral race election.

Neighborhood math puts Gonzalez in hole

I'm surprised Newsome won hoods like Noe Valley, Portrero Hill, Upper Market/Eureka Valley, and the Inner Sunset.

The Inner Sunset is part of Gonzalez's district. Noe Valley, Potrero Hill and Upper Market/Eureka Valley run pretty left and progressive most of the time.

And the Western Addition was close, Newsome lost by only one point, and in North Bernal Heights he lost by two points. The Western Addition is part of Gonzalez's district, and North Bernal Heights, is totally hippie like the Haight.

Here's the statisical page of my new district of San Francisco.

The Sunset

This is my old district.

The Richmond

I lived in this district too for awhile.

Chinatown, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Telegraph Hill, Waterfront

I don't usually go in for this kind of stuff, I'm trying to get a seat to see Al Gore speak next week in San Franciso.

I just have to see what this guy is really like in person, and if he's as awkward a speaker as everyone says he is. He was the vice president of the country for 8 years after all, and then there was that historical election debacle in 2000.

A girl friend of mine emailed me this article, Women Needed to Test Orgasm Machine, and wanted to know if I'd be willing to sign up.

It does sound intriguing doesn't it? But I don't know about having something inserted in my spine.
