Please point me to something else in the world what looks like this, on JFK westbound in front of the Conservatory of Flowers.
Here’s what you do, you get a car and then drive west from Stanyan.* And then you think, “Why is my body closer to the left side of the road than the right?”

Simply, this is a mess.
Could maybe a traffic engineer take a look at this design? You know, at some point?
Note the absence of a stop line for bikes next to the stop sign. I think that’s on purpose…
Oh well.
*Speaking of Stanyan and JFK Drive, there needs to be a traffic signal at the east end of JFK where it intersects with Kezar Drive. Maybe someday…

Here’s a visitor to the popular Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, from back in the day.

These cute little polecats frolic around like kittens. Sometimes.
But you urban beekeepers should look out, because it’s a little-known fact that:
Skunks are one of the primary predators of the honeybee, relying on their thick fur to protect them from stings. The skunk scratches at the front of the beehive and eats the guard bees that come out to investigate. Mother skunks are known to teach this to their young.
Did not know that.

For some reason, San Francisco has more than its fair share of trees from Down Under.
Like these big ‘uns blocking your view of a Sky Blue Pink sunrise.
Each stripe represents a boy or a girl born in the 415 last night, right?
We’ve got Eucalyptus, Lilly Pilly, the works, all over town.
G’Day, Mate

Absolutely nothing.
(Would you think this woman is a police officer or not? Look closely. I guessed the wrong way – see the comments.)
As seen in Mission Bay. Click to expand:
Remember the 1980′s?
I do.
