I recently visited friends who own 80 acres in Napa County, part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The wife describes herself as a “political moderate” and the husband as “apolitical”. Here’s a sticker on the front door:
Once inside, hanging on the wall:
The local gourmet establishment starts the unskilled at $23/hour:
I also stopped to visit a friend in San Anselmo, part of Marin County and home to a ketamine injection clinic and a $3 million house still sporting its “Harris for President” sign:
In between is 0Q3, the Sonoma Valley Airport:
$3 million (pre-Biden value?) P-51 Mustang and a 2700′ runway. Precision matters!
I stopped to take a quick walk around Berkeley with a friend. She assiduously locked her house and cautioned me to lock the rental car. I had observed at least one unhoused person at the entrance to her elite neighborhood. Here’s a sign at one of her neighbor’s houses:
At SFO, I discovered that a #Resister had protested the J6 insurrection by returning a rental car to Avis/Budget on the 4th anniversary of this greatest event in American history, but without the key (photo from January 27):
And, of course, there were the usual outdoor bearded maskers (SARS-CoV-2 is a deadly enemy of humans, especially the young and healthy, but not so deadly that you’d want to invest 50 cents in a razor and shave your beard like it says in the 3M instructions to do; nor would you want to drive 6 hours in a COVID-free private car to Los Angeles (where they were heading)):
SFO Terminal 2 features a 2011 fiber sculpture by Janet Echelman:
The work relates to a poem by Allen Ginsberg. Wokipedia:
In 1943, he discovered within himself “mountains of homosexuality.”
Therefore, this could be considered a 2SLGBTQQIA+ terminal to some extent, just like Harvey Milk Terminal 1 at SFO: the country’s best airport terminal for gay people…
(Separately, I know a lot of male pilots who have discovered mountains of homosexuality within themselves and, after a period of reflection, realized that the terrain was a ridge of lesbian mountains.)
The partner of unshaved covidian also didn’t read the 3M instructions for the proper respirator wearing : both straps of the face mask are positioned above the ears.
Nasekomiy: excellent catch! Maybe these two divided up the 3M instructions and each read and followed half? The one in the gold jacket learned about the importance of shaving and the one in the red shirt learned about where the straps should go.
In-N-Out is the best burger in the world, even if they have to pay $50 for unskilled so be it. I do not want live in a world with no In-N-Out.
