For some reason.
For some reason, The Chronic wants to use a thumbnail of this image below to promote a recent bit about Sutro, but The Chronic doesn’t want people to see the actual photo.
A bit of tease, non?
Anyway, here it is, a larger version plus a link to the source. It’s Famous Bay Area web technologist Elly Jonez from back when she was keeping busy making this tat – it took two years.
Oh, and look for the raven*:

*For some reason, IRL, ravens and crows love the Sutro Tower – sometimes they congregate way up at the top high above San Francisco.

Or mice, or gophers – that’s what this hawk wants to do.
But the crows, they aren’t having that. See?
The hawk’s all like WTF, hater?

Do hundreds of them live up there?
Courage.
And was ST oranger back in the day, back in 1977?
Don’t know.
Anyway, let’s not let those boids take over, or anything. Birds can be dangerous, of course.

You can spot Nycticorax nycticorax (literally “night raven,” but we call them Black Crowned Night Herons there days) in Golden Gate Park if you pay attention.
They hide out in the bushes until dusk and then they start hunting, mostly for fish.
Spot one of them and you’ll have good luck until dusk the next day.

Will Kane tells you what you need to know about yesterday’s vote from the Parks and Recreation Board about the Boat House at Stow Lake.
RPD Commissioner David Lee didn’t like being in the dark about what the rent split would be betwixt the boat house operator and the City. Of course, RPD staff wanted to focus on the capital improvements offered by the various parties, but, for whatever reason, they omitted any mention of what the rent split and any possible annual minimum payments might be. (My understanding is the the current tenant forwarded about 30% of revenue to the City but that figure dropped down to 10% when the lease went month to month back in 2006. Oh well.) Anyway, the rent issue, which will be negotiated later on, is my guess as to why David Lee didn’t vote aye.
Two of the public commenters expressed themselves musically – La Range/Rapping Raven Nazdaq had the more memorable performance. Here’s the YouTube of a previous gig to give you an idea.
On It Goes. Stay tuned…

This big old raven did not cotton to this little old hawk in the Golden Gate Park Panhandle the other day.
The hawk lost this staring contest by running and then flying away. All it wants to do is be left alone to grow up and maybe also occasionally eat baby ravens, so that’s the issue.
The air battles are more interesting of course.
