ear cataracts?

Easy, how you all doing? My presentation on Monday over in our San Francisco office went well. didn't have much time for sightseeing afterwards though. I did get chance to get up to the old hippy neighbourhood of Haight-Ashbury for the afternoon. They've got a record shop up there that is possibly one of the best on the planet. It used to be a bowling alley back in the day but all that's since been stripped out and replaced with CD's and 12"s. If you imagine AMF under the Merrion Centre but with a fuckload of tunes then your almost there.After picking up a couple of records I had a wander round some of the shops up there but it was all a bit spenny. Funny how a place that was the birth place of acid and freelove and all that bullshit is now a seriously overpriced high street.After I tripped over a few crackheads and got the bus back into town it was time to get back to Folsom but I reckon I'm gonna head back over next weekend and do some proper sightseeing. I think a re-enactment of The Rock (starring Nicholas Cage) is in order. Not sure what my agenda for poisoning the city will be. Maybe improvements in integrated public transport.. Turns out the last train from Sacramento to Folsom leaves at 7pm (wtf?) and I got there at half 7. $80 taxi fare went down a fucking treat.

Went back down to Brentwood again today for the third round of the Sandhill race series. was back to 4X again and seems like people were put off by the searing heat (26C, in March. In your face suckers!!) as it was pretty dead. we had 4 of us again in cat 2 but most of the other category's were pretty slim. We did 3 races with the winner decided on total points. my 2, 4 and 1 earned me a second overall so was fairly pleased. just a bit pissed off about the 4.
It was a relatively exciting trip over there today, narrowly missed getting hit by a crop duster, ran over a (hopefully) dead raccoon and saw another wiley coyote.

Props to big Trev down FBP for capturing an elusive badbwoy dickey taboh:Just need to get that elbow in n I'll have em inverted.
