Different shit, same job.

Due to the fallout of the Sarah Palin resignation (makes about as much sense as any other explanation) I had to drive the San Francisco route today. Now, I love San Francisco, but pushing a 34-foot truck through it? Not so much. Luckily it was a fairly easy day.

But there was one oddity. I had two deliveries for one site. One went fine, but when I called the other? He's in Berkeley. Across the bay. I call da Boss and ask him what he wants me to do. Four and half hours later as I'm finishing up in Burlingame, I get called and asked if I'd gone to Berkeley yet. No, since no one had ever called me with the correct address or even told me it was going today!

But it had to go, so across the Bay Bridge I went. Yet another nine hour day. Yay me. thud

But I did bring my camera along, and got some really nice shots of my City by the Bay.

Please, let me know what you think of the shots.

Those photos are giving me flashbacks to all the hours (and quarters) I wasted playing San Francisco Rush back in the '90's. Ah, the sensation of arcing through the air down Nob Hill in a pimped-out VW Bus...

I'd be very dangerous behind the wheel of a car in San Francisco. :)

Even assuming I knew how to drive ;)

Down Jones St., one would presume. It's the steepest coming off Nob Hill.

In the early morning hours it is not uncommon to see skateboarders flying down Jones in defiance of all sense. They bet that there won't be any cross traffic. Pretty amazing to see.
