> Shocking changes to my home town, all right. My former babysitter's elderly mother was held up at gunpoint in a parking garage right next door to my mother's a while back, in what had been the safe, boring Sunset district. (So called because the Sun Set there in 1898 and hasn't been seen again since... That was the old joke, thanks to global warming and pollution, of course, they don't get the same fogs they used to. When I was a kid, the racetrack at the Polo Fields would be so socked in you'd hear the other horses hoofbeats long before you saw them, so romantic.)

If it makes you feel any better, there are the off days, like today, when it was totally fogged in in the City and beautiful and sunny in Daly City. Whatever!?! It's still a great place to live, but we're probably moving in the next year because the SFUSD is really in trouble and if we move to Concord (yuck!) our daughter will be able to go to public school and actually get an education. Oh how I dread moving to the suburbs! I'm just not that kind of girl. (My hair isn't nearly big enough.) Wish us luck in Concord where they're oh so supportive of interfaith, interracial familes. . .By the way, I've spent many a day playing soccer at the Polo Fields, not much has changed. The only place where it hurts worse to get hit by a wet ball is at Beach Chalet, which is like playing under water.
