Feeling Crabby But Go Giants!
Buena Vista Park SF Sunset Joy Walk
The sky was ablaze at sunset a few days ago, and the weather was unusually warm. So I grabbed a Fosters oil can and a doob, and dashed up there on the 37 Corbett bus just in time to catch this lovely pic with my Samsung Galaxy S4.
This is a view towards the East Bay, taken near the top of the park (it’s on a big hill).
What I found particularly interesting, was that despite the city’s best efforts, there was still heavy cruising, especially after it got dark.
Now, it wasn’t the cruising I remember from the late seventies. Back then it was common to see a dozen or two hot, porn star quality stud muffins not just cruising, but having full on orgies. Clothes hanging on branches, can of Crisco somewhere near and handy. In broad daylight!
No it wasn’t like the good ole daze, but there were about a dozen, middle aged or older, slightly paunchy to downright obese guys out there prowling around like hungry wolves. Not much action, just cruising. I got rejected four or five times, by even the oldest, fattest, ugliest cretin among them. Guess I should head back to Thailand, where there’s a healthy respect for us aged. paunchy. cretins.
But I’m glad to see stuff still goes on.
Google Nexus 7 Test Drive
I treated myself with two new gadgets this past Christmas:
Since they’re prior year make and model, I snatched them up via Amazon for less than half price!
I’m hoping to miniaturize my coffee shop office experience while on the road in Thailand for the next 7 weeks.
So far so good. The Nexus needed several Android updates (free) to get up to speed. 4.4.4 is where it’s at now. Still a tiny bit slow but that could be the signal strength.
This is my first post from a coffee shop via these devices, the pic was taken by my Samsung Galaxy S4, another prior year bargain at 1/3 the new price.
I’ll be looking at cases, let me know if you can recommend a good one? Especially if it doubles as a stand.
Wish me luck, and I hope to be entertaining you with all kinds of eye candy and stories from the land of smiles.
Btw, I’ll miss my coffee shop office here at Cafe UB, where the coffee is kick ass Ritual Brand, and the “David” bagel (cream cheese, tomato, cucumber, cracked pepper) including tip comes in under $8.
Thanks for dropping by, and later, later,
Jim

Azure Blue Sunflowers
How’d they get that color? Probably the Blue Fairy. Gepetto and Pinocchio anyone?
Actually, these were a fiery orange-red, on sale out front at Urban Flowers in the Castro, SF CA. I was fiddling with the tint option in my photo editor and found this color gave it a magical feel.
