San Francisco Walk

A long walk in San Francisco: Embarcadero to Fort Mason to Union Street…
A young man stopped me on the Embarcadero.
“I’m doing research on working life, for young people aged 18-22 who haven’t known success. What one piece of advice would you give them?”
I kept my answer short.

The Blue Angels Over San Francisco

So the Blue Angels were here for Fleet Week. I wasn’t well enough to cope with the crowds and transportation hassles to get to a paid seat where we could see all the action, but there was quite a lot to be seen from my own balcony and rooftop and then (Sunday) from the Embarcadero (a brief walk from my home).

Yes, it’s an expensive, polluting display of America’s military might. But it also looks like a lot of fun! Next year I definitely want to be up close.
