Overall Guy
Defenstration Building
Yesterday we decided to do the 49 mile scenic drive through San Francisco. One of the sights was of this building (not in the original drive). It seemed pretty strange. Apparently defenstration means "to be thrown out of the window". I looked online and I guess they are going to tear the building down. It was interesting to see.

Here comes the bride....
No, no it's not what you're thinking.
If it's a little hard to tell, this is a bridal party having their picture taken in front of a mural. Who cares? you might ask. Well this is no ordinary mural-it's the mural on one of the main wall of a building we manage! We're basically famous
We spent the past weekend house sitting in the suburbs, soaking up the sunshine and listening to the grass grow. It's so easy to forget what quiet sounds like! When we got back on Sunday afternoon we went to grab dinner and saw this:

In case you're interested, the mural actually is a little bit famous. It was painted by Mona Caron, and has won several awards. Check it out here: http://www.monacaron.com/galleries/MSR-unv-gallery/welcome.html

Sorry Nothing New
Sorry that there have been no new updates. We have been busy around here and it has been very cold lately, so we haven't been walking around outside as much to get any pictures. It hasn't broken 60 in the last 2 weeks, or 70 in the last 6 weeks. So hopefully it will warm up and then we can start taking some more new pictures.

Prop 8
Today it was decided that banning gay marriage would be unconstitutional. Whatever your politics may be, this was a very big event here in the Castro. My original hope was to go down to City Hall and see all of the gay couples get married-but they aren't doing any same-sex marriages yet, due to the appeals process
There was, however a huge march on Market street (about 2 blocks from our apartment). People were talking about how nice it was to be marching in celebration, instead of protest! Lots of fun to watch while at our local farmer's market :-)

August 1 Adventure
To start of this month we got to clean the sidewalk in front of the building. We heard a loud thud sound and looked out the window and noticed a homeless person had knocked over his grocery cart in front of our apartment. His stuff was spilled everywhere. Instead of picking it up, he just fought with himself and blaming the "other person" that it was his fault. After all the arguing with himself he just left everything behind. There was a humidifier (interesting item to have when you are homeless) and many pillow. When we woke up the next morning, most of the items were gone other than a few papers and one pillow. Not sure who came and got it, but we got the pleasure of the cleaning the rest of it up.
