That's why I wear camouflage...

It's the height of the tourist season - and San Francisco is suffering from camera-snapping congestion. What can you do but laugh at the hoards of people who are simply not from around here? Thank god I can come home and get away from it all.

Drink beer on the grass - check.
Visit innumerable shops in China Town - check.
Stay moderately stoned all day - check.
Eat some good food - check.
Make fun of tourists (and strangers in general) - check.

Not a bad Saturday.

I am in need of accumulating a list of sites to see in Europe. Top on today's list is Mont-St-Michel. I would love to take my own pictures of this place. Something about building a city on top of a tidal island seems very French to me.


It's a bit remote, but I kind of want to go anyway. But maybe it would be better to go in the winter.

Homeless people can be funny as hell sometimes. The bum who told us that drinking in public is illegal had a hilarious response to my statement that this particular action is illegal everywhere. He wasn't wearing any camouflage, but he also wasn't drinking in public. So, there you have it, folks.
