The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches 5
and then moves on.

They tried to warn us about the fog, but only some of us listened. The rest of us went down the waterfront only to be confronted with this:
You see, it should look more like this, from 2007. This year’s fireworks got above the fog, but only once in a while. It’s almost as if the Bay Area should celebrate Anti-Fourth of July instead.
See you (through the fog) next year!
Check out this jam of traffic leaving San Francisco via the Great Highway as this past weekend’s balmy weather came to an end a bit too soon. A few hours earlier, these people were enjoying the sun at Ocean Beach:
When you have so many people visiting the City, things can get out of hand. How did these fellows get bloodied on the Great Highway near Judah? It’s hard to say why so many cops were there or what put a hole through one of the car’s windows, as reports of this incident are hard to come by.
All that was left of the crowd at the end of the day is shown in this photo, entitled The Aftermath of a Sunny Weekend in San Francisco. Leaving garbage and recycling next to a full trash can isn’t necessarily impolite, but apparently a “ton of trash” was left on the beach as well. Bad form.
Let’s do better the next time we have a great weekend of sun. Of course, that will probably be in about six months or so. Oh well.
Enjoy the fog!
