best day ever
i declare unemployment day 20 to be the best day of non-workery yet.
living in the mission district, while also spending a lot of time at tari's house that overlooks the mission, it's pretty easy to forget San Francisco is actually a coastal city. i spent the best day of unemployment at ocean beach, a long strip of sand that is the western shoreline of the city. when taken in the context of San Francisco's dramatic vistas, bridges and buildings, ocean beach is an understatement; just miles and miles of sand. ocean beach is a fine beach, don't get me wrong. but a fella goes to ocean beach to forget a city that hides behind the sand dunes.
it's a stunning day, somebody really out did themselves to put this one together. to the north, puffs of yesterday's storm clouds float over the domineering marin headlands. the midday air is so clear, i can just make out the farallon islands, some 27 miles offshore.
just over the dunes and across the great highway, i think i've found a new unemployment hangout--the java beach cafe at la playa and judah. there's free wireless and a solitary wall outlet for my laptop which is so old and bootsy, it has no battery. i drove here, but the n-judah line terminates right out the window, making this point easily reachable via public transportation.
have a nice day.
