This is a regular Sunday morning, but it was quite rainy.
Go up there as the weather’s clearing and you’ll have the place to yourself.
See?

Usually things are busier, you know, when skies are blue…

(My Canon 1D Mark Whatever SLR died an early death at 140,000 clicks* possibly due to the fact that I wasn’t ascared of a little (or a lot) of rain. Nowadays I’m def. skittish, but no matter,) you can always count on famous photographer David Yu to be on the scene rain or dry.
As he was last Saturday night in Chinatown and North Beach and SoMA and the Financh and all over.
Check out his gallery of Year of the Rabbit festivities, why not?
Bunnies!

David Yu
Whoahhh Bundy!

SuperLotto? No thanks! But SuperLotto PLUS? Sounds intriguing…

David Yu
And look who else was there – it’s your newly-minted Supervisor Malia Cohen:

(Yowser)
And your just-as-newly-minted Mayor Edwin Lee in the official San Francisco staff car, formerly used by General Burkhalter:

See you next year! (In scary, scary 2012, the year of the Dragon.)
*200,000 was the expected number of clicks I believe I was owed. ($300 minimum for a new shutter.) OTOH, my 5D Mark I has probably already exceeded its expected shutter life so I s’pose I shouldn’t complain too much. Living on borrowed time tho.

There still should be free ice cream at 2:15 PM or whenever the short set ends, though.

Actually, I’m surprised the NIMBYs didn’t try to kill this one:

Next stop, the Independent….

Is there a law that says Sunday Streets can never be cancelled or postponed? Apparently:
”’As they say, the show must go on,”’ said Susan King, an organizer of the event.”
O.K., I’ll bite. Why must the show go on?
Anyway, check out what SS exhibitor Renee Lazear thinks:
“Maybe Sunday Streets would consider having another event in April or May since it was such an awful day (not fun riding/walking in the rain, cold & wind) and sounds like many who were exhibiting, including myself decided to cancel.”
Wasn’t it obvious that we’d have rain all during the planned Sunday Streets today?
This skateboard-equipped nuclear family made a go of it for about five minutes today.

Oh well. Look forward to other SSes in 2010.

One of the nice things about San Francisco is that when it’s foggy it’s generally not rainy and vice versa.
The exceptions to that rule are days like today. It’s like we’re living inside a rain cloud or something.

Oh well, Spring is coming….
