0512, April 18, 1906. Happy Earthquake Day, Bay Area People!

Everybody sing!

It only takes a tiny corner of
This great big world to make the place we love
My home up on the hill
I find I love you still
I've been away, but now I'm back to tell you:

San Francisco, open your golden gate
You let no stranger wait - who's been knockin’ - who's been knockin'
outside your door
San Francisco, here comes your wanderin'one
And I'm sayin', and I'm sayin'
That I'm gonna wander no more
Other places, other places only make me love you best
Tell me, tell me you're the heart of the golden West, the golden West
San Francisco, welcome me home again
I'm coming home to go roamin' no more.

Chorus:
San Francisco, open your golden gate
You let no stranger wait who's been outside your door
San Francisco, here is your wandering one
Saying I'll wander no more
Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you're the heart of all the golden west
San Francisco, welcome me home again
I'm coming home to go roaming no more.

Did you actually go? Or just watch it on tv like the rest of us.

It was fun watching Gavin schmooze with the survivors. When he turns it on, he is very charming.

At least the weather is currently gorgeous, so SF is really showing itself off this week!

I've always wanted to go, and planned to this year since I was unemployed, but then I got the job. So I watched it on TV this morning while getting ready for work.

I loved the lady who was conceived and born in a refugee tent, and was raised by prostitutes! I love this city!
