Monday, August 17th, 2009

The Pakistani Association of San Francisco Bay Area(PASF) threw a huge party yesterday to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day. Civic Center was all packed up with partying people.

Like this singer. Kind of got a Bono / U2 feel out of him.

This is just another in San Francisco, where you see all kinds of things you’ve never seen before. There was lots of “Paki Pride” on display. Thusly:

Sunset Scavenger vs. Fixie Bike Rider at Golden Gate and Polk

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Here’s the scene this morning at around 7:00 AM at the intersection of Polk and Golden Gate in the Civic Center/Tendeloin/Polk Gulch area near City Hall – the aftermath of a collision between a Sunset Golden Gate Debris Box transporter and a green, braked-equipped Masi single-speed bike rider. The cyclist had a helmet and her bike light was still flashing.

It’s hard to say who was at fault at this point. This is one of the “routine” accidents” we have in the City that you don’t hear about unless somebody dies. Are bike accidents increasing in San Francisco? Seems that way.

Here’s wishing a speedy recovery for the cyclist.
