ya gotta love this town

After work today, I went to the independent bookstore (which is a stones throw from the public library). I wanted to get some guide books for ideas of what to do and where to go. One for hiking/biking; I got my "mid peninsula biking map" from Stanford transportation, and I ordered the san francisco bay trail maps online. But it's nice to have some places a short drive away.

I also figured I would get a book telling about interesting places to go, places to eat, etc. I looked through the shelves carefully. Lots of books on visiting San Francisco: large sections devoted to hotels, how to get around, etc. Some books on doing things cheaply ... but mostly focused on the city itself, no surprise. I had narrowed it down to two possibilities when I saw a slim book I had missed on previous passes: Get Lost! The cool guide to San Francisco by Claudia Lehan.

I already know about the Cartoon Art Museum; I've been there twice. (I read about it in some guide book years ago.) But: Antique Vibrator Museum? Camera Obscura and Holograph Gallery? (warning - music:) Musee Mecanique? Tour of the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company? And ... not my thing, but ... Tattoo Art Museum? Ya gotta love this town.

Kabuki Springs and Spa anyone? The Wave Organ?

and especially for Susan: Midnight Rollers Friday Night Skate

What can I say, but ya gotta love this town?
