Another Day in San Francisco

The Sun never sets on an uninteresting day in San Francisco although you could not have proven that the Sun was anywhere in the sky yesterday because of the overcast of rain clouds.  Depending on where you were in the City the wind may have been gusting up to 50 MPH too, rendering all but the most innovatively designed umbrellas useless.   None of this day was too unusual except for the fact that the power went out all over the City for five long hours.  If you were in a high-rise a decision to leave the safety of a dark apartment had to be considered carefully because you would need to walk down several flights of stairs and possibly in a dark stairwell. Depending on which floor you were on, and we’re on the 8th, going down wasn’t the problem, coming back up would be a challenge and that was only if you could get back into the stairwell once you exited to the outside in the rain.  Now visualize that you live or work on the 37th floor. Oh, and did I mention that the fire alarm activated during the power outage, and it was instructing everyone to leave our residential building and stand in the rain while they figured it out.  Honestly though my physical capability isn't what I wanted to talk about today.    Simply, I wanted to say, "What in Ben Franklin is going on with PG&E that they allowed a whole city to be powerless for five hours?"   That was all I had to say.  Have a great day!

Being Grateful in this City

Throughout the day as I look out over the San Francisco Bay I am so grateful for eyesight.

Thank You

HAPPY BE GRATEFUL DAY!


RECONNECT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY!


BE TOLERANT AND KIND TO ALL!


THROUGHOUT ALL THE HOLIDAYS REMEMBER:
  EVERYTHING IN MODERATION!


BE SAFE IN ALL YOUR TRAVELS!

A national problem that needs solving so lets start with San Francisco

A Problem That Needs To Solving

Problem #1: 

Solve the homelessness (drug and alcohol abuse and mental diseases) problem in San Francisco

Benefits:

Solving  San Francisco’s “homelessness” problem creates a solution that can be applied nationally.

San Francisco becomes the showcase for solutions rather than the sanctuary of ignored humanitarian problems.

San Francisco leads the nation in behavior and sociological  challenges that cause “homelessness”.

San Francisco transforms itself into the technological dynasty without 20th century “homelessness” on the streets.

Send in your suggested solutions that are thoughtful, constructive and realistic.  In other words give some real thought about  the problem.  Think as though there are no limitations of any kind.....NONE.

Problem # 2 coming next week

Congratulations California

The state of California has finally graduated to the classification of “Bone Dry” by the San Francisco Examiner.  Congratulations California you finally procrastinated long enough to reach a severe condition of water shortage.  Instead of developing a real long term solution we’re going to save water all the way to the bottom of the well.   Water is the proverbial fountain of youth so why aren't we protecting it?
