Sunday – Saturday: What I Saw In San Francisco 8/12 – 8/18
Well, the truth is that I didn’t see a whole lot of San Francisco last week because I was away for the week visiting my brother down in Los Angeles. I did see the Bay Bridge and all of the construction going on around it as I left the city and then returned again. That also means that I saw that monstrous green building going up over there which seems to be a blight on the usually beautiful San Francisco city skyline. I also saw an inordinate number of “green cars” advertising the benefits of environmental friendliness. Sounds good to me.
While in LA, I saw a lot of things that I don’t normally see in San Francisco. Just a few of these things included:
• Road rage. I never see this in San Francisco, I saw a lot of it down south.
• Smog. There was no fog down there but the sky was thick anyway.
• Traffic. It’s cliché but it’s so annoying. There were also parking lots. We don’t have too many of those around here.
• Celebrities. Well, I think so anyway. I’m not very good at eyeing them but I thought I saw a few. Although, since I occasionally see some around here, I can’t really say that’s something I don’t see in San Francisco.
• Sunshine. Yes, there’s occasionally sunshine in San Francisco but there was a whole lot more of it in Los Angeles and I have to say that was pretty darn nice.
• People swimming in the ocean. Without wetsuits. What a concept!
I don’t love Los Angeles. In fact, there are times I’ve been there that I downright disliked it. But I suppose it has its perks. Still, I’ll take the things I see in San Francisco any day over the things I saw when I was down in LA.
