Not exactly an aboriginal activity when the said event took place along the San Francisco shore.  But today being the day before Thanksgiving I decided to stroll the quiet eastern shoreline that is the Embarcadero in the morning hours before the crowds came in. The weather could not have been better.  An overnight downpour had left the city sidewalks shiny clean and the upcoming sun was soaking my back warm.  Here are a few glimpses of how the walk unfolded. Along Pier 1 - where nary a soul stirred.  Even the gulls had the day off. New tallest building pushing into the clouds in its semi finished state - will belong to a software maker that helps run big business in the cloud For the newbie a few things to note if you happen to visit this part of the world.  The piers are numbered from 1 to 41 with the odd numbers running north from the Ferry Building. Pier 39 known by some where the sea lions party and an Italian setup a chocolate factory (a...

Over the top glitz. Money sucking leaches. Skimpily clad is business as usual. Botox, Eye Lashes, Face Paint and other body shaping and altering ideas are par for the course. Smoke wherever - doobie included. Stoned, hazed, loud, rowdy, glazed is a constant state of mind. Las Vegas!  Many properties owned by Jewish multi billionaires and sometimes by Trump.  Food so so regardless of their stars and reviews.  Did I mention over priced? Spent a work week in LV, trying to stay cool and productive during the beyond hot and dry summer day time while stepping out for the evening frivolities and strolls when the desert wind kicked in. The Greenbacks hanging out with their money Loud and in your face interior decor is de rigeur to fill the larger than large spaces decorated with red and velvet carpets amidst a sea of marble tiles and silk drapes and chandeliers.  Mosaic artwork along walls including some paintings chosen by th...

Not the mysetrious white liquid that you might add to your cup of caffiene in the morning.  But an acknowledgement of being around on a planet that today (for most of us) will see equal parts day and night.  As in 12 hours of Day Time vs. 12 hours of Night.  It is sort of academic on what it really means or how one calculates it to be so precise but suffice to say that twice each year the sun passes over the equator in its celestial journey and rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west. Thusly today marks the Spring Equinox.  That is because I live in the northern hemisphere and as imagined by cartographers and geographers millenia ago, the equator divides our planet in two imaginary hemis.  For those that find themselves in the southern part of this oblate it is the Autumnal Equinox or marks the arrival of Autumn or Fall. So what of it? Well I got to dwelling on how the word equinox came to be and what it could morph into or be interpre...
