  3. walked down to and through Glen Canyon after lunch

    o/ to the runner who jogged straight up a shortcut from portola’s little dog leg to twin peaks blvd. I was going to head home but decided to follow up instead

  5. decided to try SFMTA’s recommended southwest route ( https://www.sfmta.com/maps/san-francisco-bike-network-map) today: climbed up chavez to tag slow sanchez, then back down to san jose, arlington, hearst, halloway, south around lake merced, and cruised up the great highway to the windmills to head home through the park, wiggle, etc.

    Lovely!

  7. I only ever recorded these to get a distance measurement immediately after I was done and had forgotten they were recorded. there’s so much shit out there that we keep forever “for free” and I guess that’s ok but I would also be ok if we did not do this at all, it’s all so arbitrary

  8. so I walk a few miles every morning looked for an app help me be more intentional about taking streets I’ve never taken before and was susprised when https://citystrides.com/ pulled in… every walk I’ve ever recorded in strava.

    it’s neat seeing the stark difference between tight squiggles of political lit drops up and down steps from years ago (usually hanging door cards on every house doorknob on a turf of a few blocks) next to meanderings of normal walks on sidewalks

    a street map of the southwest of noe valley with purple lines throughout from walks I’ve done in the past few months and a tightly packed bunch of walks along a few blocks in one corner where I did a lit drop like six years ago

  9. I normally that find perpetual schadenfreude wears pretty thin (in that it doesn’t work to make me feel any better and is eventually a real bummer. I’m glad it helps other people though.)

    But this guy is just so incredibly annoying. So, sorry about that. Won’t make it a habit.

  10. jeeze, I guess I’s best be avoiding that fella in my business dealings [slaps open a metal ticket book, removes a bic pen, licks a finger, flips to the first empty page of an 8” x 5” legal pad, licks the pen tip, and begins writing: s, a, m, et cetera]

  11. commuting a few blocks out of my way for some (but not enough) safety delenda est

    that said, this route is so much better than it used to be!

  12. I left to meet the fam for 5pm dinner after this (DST delenda est).

    The worker in charge (idk ranks) told me it smelled like paper burning and I agree. The garage was, from what i saw, mostly storage of somebody’s stuff and not actively used for parking or w/e. Sorry somebody! That stinks.

    And after, just this morning, walking past Cellarmaker as they cleaned up a broken plate glass window.

    Bummer of a day!

  13. I called 911 on an active fire on Osage St. (the half block west of / behind Mission St) this evening near 26th because I saw a garage door smoking in a funny way. (nobody was hurt afaik)

    SFFD made from a few blocks away in about 90 seconds? It was pretty remarkable. They had to chainsaw the door off and use hoses on it.

    Anyway, I’ve never done that before, nice to have on hand!

  14. that everyone fuckin’ hates DST yet we still have it is p effective propaganda

  15. have been going for walks every weekday morning for the past two weeks after dropping the kid off at school and following “whatever is steeper" holistic routes

    Yesterday, we dropped junior off at Flynn and then climbed the steps south from Cesar Chavez near the highway and went around the east of Bernal.

    It’s fun to see out parts of the city I’ve seen from afar for years, and this area specifically would make for a great new walk or two in Bakalinski’s Stairway Walks of SF
