Sunset from the Mission

Not usually around to see this but after a hellishly long Tues I stayed home all Wed and tried to catch up on sleep. The iPhone camera sucks but you can see the base of Sutro Tower to the left.

San Francisco Bay Guardian : Article : Years of Lead

Veysey believes bike thefts are helping prop up the local drug market. It sounds far-fetched, but it's a notion McCloskey and other bike theft experts echoed. The National Bike Registry, a company that runs the nation's largest database for stolen bikes, says on its Web site, "Within the drug trade, stolen bicycles are so common they can almost be used as currency.

Sushmita sent me this article just now -- pretty crazy to hear bikes claimed as one of the 4 commodities of the street along with cash, drugs, and sex.

Good luck on getting yours and Theo's bikes back, Sush!

Amazon.com: Once a Runner: A Novel: John L Parker: Books

via amazon.com

This is a cult (running) classic which until just recently was nigh on impossible to find for less than $150 in the used book market -- looks like some publisher noticed this and decided to reprint it. In any case, this book is by far the best at describing what it takes to be an elite endurance athlete.

I finished this book and wanted to immediately pick up the sequel but had a hard time finding it -- this seems to have also changed as Again to Carthage (http://www.amazon.com/Again-Carthage-John-Parker-Jr/dp/1891369776/ref=pd_sim_b_2) has also been reprinted...
