The San Francisco Citizen

There they were down at the How Weird Street Faire - it was the San Francisco Atheists! They were collecting money for their Darwin Scholarship.

Perhaps you could win a scholarship too. Not sure if you could use it at a Jesuit school like USF, but it’s worth a try for all you unbelievers out there. Wouldn’t you want to be just like these attractive, local atheists during the next Evolution-Palooza on Darwin Day?

Come meet these heathens this Wednesday at Evolution: The Musical! Why not? 

God Bless.

Inline Speed Skating - it’s an actual sport. This was the scene yesterday in GGP, where speedy skaters managed not to kill any babies in strollers. (How’s that, NIMBY’s?)

Read all about it.

Competitors tended to bunch up into clumps on the straights and then stretch out into a line in the high-speed turns. Click to enlarge:

A sprint to the finish line. Wouter Hebbrecht managed to hold off this group and attain second place.

Consider this a more-reliable-than-average rumour about the recent ICE raids  on the Balazos in the San Francisco Bay Area:

We are planning to hold a protest outside the ICE office at 630 Sansome St. in SF this Monday, May 5th at 12:00 PM to condemn the raids and call for justice for immigrant workers.   

It continues…

The one at 1654 Haight was open yesterday, for what it’s worth:

The 9th Annual How Weird Street Faire yesterday.

Maybe sunglasses CAN get bigger. Here’s proof:
