    I kind agree w/ the haters on this one but maybe not very strongly?

    the hardback cover of “The Book of Love” by Kelly Link, as I read it. Title in mixed case  mixed case THE BooK oF LoVE” and author’s name upper case, both in black over a solid red background. Four rows of five moons line the cover in gold: crescent, waxing, full, waning, crescent. Alternating left and then right waning first, then waxing moons have silhouettes of faces instead of earth-shadows.

    • double parked in the bike lane with two empty car spots to his right

    ** sfmta is committed to not putting in a protected bike lane here to Mission St because of nonsense complications

    *** to ask me, after he caught up with us, what I’d said to him

  5. Recently returned from two weeks spent in NC, SC, and MD and if I hadn’t been at the beach, bay, or poolside every other day (and sure of imminent return to the bay) I would have a buzz cut right now

    full length mirror selfie, red/white-stripe high top vans, maroon levis corduroys, black/white thin-hoirzontal-striped shirt under a black jean jacket with ‘gravely’ embroidered in cursive above the the left pocket, nearly-shoulder length hair parted on my left, flipping up at the ends in a mess because I haven’t touched it in a long time

  7. Chef’s travel tip: many folks out there in the wide wide western world consider little black dots on their food to be a delicacy

    to achieve this effect, find the little shaker container labeled “P” (why P? no one knows), tip it over, and shake vigorously over food to sight

  8. Back east visiting. Took a walk and passed a bar that used to have live music where a band that was ok with young people sitting in had a weekly — a thing I tried exactly once. I sucked. The bar has been renamed and the bandstand is gone.

    I win.
