Weather……..

November … what a month!!

Good News: Nice and warm. Unseasonably? A little. It was 79 yesterday in San Francisco - broke the record set in 1923 (of 78). And, today … 75. According to www.cityrating.com, San Francisco’s average temperature for November is only 54.8. So, we’re just a little warmer, folks.

Flipside: Breezy. Red flag warnings mean fire hazards. There was a 77 mph gust of wind at Mt Diablo yesterday. They say it’s because of the “offshore flow” - which is opposite of what usually happens this time of year. And, dryer than usual.

I just love this City!!

Halloween In The Castro

So, I’m walking down the street yesterday …

And, walking in front of me is a young mother pushing a stroller.

Ahead of us on the sidewalk walking towards us, is a small group of men - dressed in drag, and leather, and other (scary) costumes.

The young mother bends down to her young child and says, “oh honey, look at the pretty costumes!”

As I walk by … I say to the lady, “Those aren’t costumes. Honey, this is the Castro. They dress like that all the time!”
