The San Francisco Citizen

Per the Cruise Hot Sheet, you can float out of San Francisco on a big modern liner, like the 2400-passenger Norwegian Sun, for just $599. This “Freestyle Cruise” starting in November 2008 goes on for 19 days, so that works out to a Cost Per Day (CPD) of just $31.53. Plus you’ll feel like you’re living in San Francisco’s District 2 at the 96-seat “Pacific Heights Restaurant” on Deck 11.

Passing by the Cliff House and the kiteboarders of Ocean Beach, The Norwegian Sun headed out yesterday for sunny Mazatlan, Mexico. Click to expand:

Now there are people living in the Tenderloin these days who are paying more than that just for a tiny studioapartment with no amenities at all. So going on a cheap “repositioning” voyage can be cheaper than living in San Francisco, if you believe the Innernet.

Bon Voyage!

It seems there’s a little black spot on the sun today. It’s the same old thing as yesterday.

That’s very disconcerting to San Francisco resident Phil Chapman, a geophysicist who was the first Australian to become a NASA astronaut. You see, we need more of those little spots on El Sol so things don’t get too frosty. He actually wants you to pray for more sunspots.

That’s right, forget global warming - an ice age is coming and the only question is when it will get here.

Hang in there little doggy, there’s a chance Philip K Chapman is wrong.
 

Do you buy all that?
