Dadaism

Only in San Francisco would a shaving-cream pie fight break out on Market Street on a Friday afternoon.
Right in front of the tourists...niiice.

I went to run on the beach today, which consisted of less actual running (two minutes, I timed it), and more wandering, composing poetry in my head, petting peoples' dogs, watching sandpipers run in and out of the surf, and picking up halves of sand dollars. It was probably 80 degrees, without the wind I'm used to at the beach, so I kept wading in the freezing water until my feet cramped. I'd been feeling a bit out of sorts lately, and today was exactly what I needed to re-coup.

Haha, no way... what a perfect picture... there's a San Francisco "City Sightseeing" bus passing right behind them. I still wonder if that was for a purpose or not. I kind of hope it wasn't. Oh San Francisco!

Haley, that is so weird! Did you get to the page called "SF0"? So who were they? Players in some freakish, [pointless] live city game. And I think there's one for San Luis too... LET"S JOIN!

Faith,
Yikes. Is it just me, or is the whole thing a bit...creepy? Sure, it's all fun and games when people are throwing shaving cream at each other, but before you know it, you're wearing a vegetable around as a necklace (wtf?)

No Haley, it's not just you! But be careful... you live in the city... who knows how big this thing is! (Spies!) How much did you say you know about your roomate...?
