The Scary, Bloodthirsty Jack-O-Lanterns of San Francisco Halloween 2009
Friday, October 30th, 2009Kitesurfing Under the Golden Gate Bridge – A Dangerous Game
Monday, October 12th, 2009Kitsesurfing around the Golden Gate Bridge can be dangerous, but that doesn’t seem to slow people down.
From last week. Click to expand:
Here’s what it looks like from below.
Let’s be careful out there…

More Pedestrian Countdown Signals Come to Geary Boulevard in the Richmond – Hurray!
Monday, July 13th, 2009Can you spot one of the the new pedestrian countdown timers being installed in the Middle Richmond District last week? It arrived all wrapped up.
Plus new road signs too, probably they’ll be more legible or something. But that’s a small thing compared with the installation of new signals.

Maybe fewer people will die on the mean streets of the Richmond District after we get all this new equipment. (How many peds got mowed over by cars in the Richmond District last year? More than you might think.)
Anyway, the new lights can’t hoit.
Hurray!
More Pedestrian Signals Coming to 19th Avenue in the Sunset
Thursday, June 25th, 2009Nowadays, it seems that every intersection on the 19th Avenue double fine zone in the Sunset District has either:
1. a dedicated pedestrian signal (with a countdown timer thrown in as a bonus), like this one on Ortega : or
2. evidence of recent work indicating that a pedestrian signal is a coming soon, like this one on Santiago.
Hurray!

At Long Last, Pedestrian Signals Installed on 19th Avenue in the Sunset
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Don’t get out much to this part of the Westside Fog Belt, so this is the first I’ve seen of pedestrian signals at some intersections of 19th Avenue, aka State Highway One.
Of course, this improvement comes a little late for some…
Look for them, tirelessly counting down 24/7, on Park Presidio and the Sunset District part of 19th Avenue.
Hurray, I suppose.
IVAW Group Blocks Market on 6th Anniversary of Iraq Invasion
Thursday, March 19th, 2009Here’s the scene this afternoon on Market Street between 7th and 8th – a handful of Iraq War veterans stopping for one second of silence for each U.S. service member lost. That’s 4259 seconds, or about 70 minutes, and they just about spent that much time on Market before getting hauled away by the SFPD.

San Francisco’s Steve Lightfoot Continues His Stephen King Crusade in Florida
Thursday, February 19th, 2009Remember this guy and his van? He was as big as Frank Chu, back in the day. Atop the list of the World’s Weirdest/Stupidest Conspiracy Theories is the one from Steve Lightfoot. Why? ‘Cause he believes it was Stephen King, not Mark David Chapman, who shot John Lennon in 1980.
Steve’s in the news again now, for getting hauled out of a public meeting in Sarasota, Florida.
In Golden Gate Park, a while back:

Steve should have moved on to the JFK murder conspiracy or even the 911 Truth movement by now.
Oh well, look for him around town – he’ll be back someday.
It’s Never a Good Time to Go Swimming at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach
Monday, January 19th, 2009Why is it never a good time to go swimming at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach? Deadly rip currents, that’s why.
Those shown below are just wading, but that’s how people get into trouble. Things are better than they were before but, as this government study shows, them rip currents is everywhere at Ocean Beach.
So, beware, beware…
Oh no! It’s the Rebirth of Castro Halloween. Die Dow, Die!
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008Look out! The same people (such as “composer, lyricist, scriptwriter, concert hound, music reviewer and web designer” Mark Tyne) who brought the Death of Castro Halloween funeral procession all the way down Market Street from the Ferry Building in 2007 are at it again.
Except this year the theme is the Death of Wall Street and the Rebirth of Castro Halloween. So we’ll see you out there, unless you get cowed by the ham-fisted “Home for Halloween” people, who would probably prefer you to stay at home and watch Major Dad reruns on the telly.
This pair of queens in the Castro shared a nice moment with a masked wrestler back in 2006, back in the good old days:
