Friday was the – now monthly – Castro Night Market. Two blocks and a small parking are closed for the evening for an art market and dance party.

Today, we celebrated the grand opening of San Francisco's newest park. Sunset Dunes is a 2-mile waterfront esplanade along Ocean Beach, linking Golden Gate Park and the SF Zoo. It's a former highway we voted to close permanently after a temporary closure during the COVID lockdown.

Work is underway converting 2 miles of oceanfront roadway in San Francisco into an art filled pedestrian and bike promenade. It officially opens Saturday, April 12, and today it got an official name: Sunset Dunes. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I discovered #LEGO now requires second-factor authentication. Thank you for protecting my data… but that short time grabbing the code made me wonder if this was more about preventing kids from placing orders. I’d be surprised if LEGO didn’t get calls from parents cancelling orders.

I had a truly San Francisco moment last taking my dog, Disco, for a walk last week. Passing by the Duboce Park N-Judah stop, I overheard three tech bros waiting for the train talking an AI startup idea. I didn’t catch the concept, but they were talking about a go to market strategy.

A neighborhood wine store wrote, "Buy the imported stuff before the Feds ban it!", on the chalk sandwich board sign out front. I took this photo before President Trump declared a 200% on French wine.

One of my Platy fish has been sick. For the last two weeks, the little guy hasn't been eating and lost weight. I set up an isolation tank where I can turn off the volcano filter's air and let him nibble on flakes at his own pace. His apatite was a little better today.

San Francisco's Castro District is linked to Mission Dolores Park, and the Mission Distric, at 19th Street by a rainbow-painted pedestrian bridge over the J-Line right-of-way. Rainbows are not simply visions, absolutely not just illusions, and what do you think they have to hide anyway?

I only meant to walk my dog, Disco, to the park at the end of my street. But a Muni train was coming so we made it a beach trip instead.

On Monday, I paid a visit to the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in downtown San Francisco. It wraps around a waterfall inspired by something he once said: “No. No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until ‘justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream’”

Bayfront Park is a brand new park in Mission Bay next to the Golden State Warriors' arena, along the bayfront. It's made with steel from the old Bay Bridge eastern span, old anchors, and designed to help absorb the stronger storm surges we get for changing the climate.

The Golden Gate Bridge from the perspective of The Walt Disney Family Museum in The Presidio. The @wdfmuseum.bsky.social was designed with a space between exhibits and floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the view of the bridge.

I took a bike ride through Golden Gate Park yesterday. Enjoyed the art along the JFK promenade that reminds me of Burning Man. Had a nice sit along Blue Heron Lake. And on the way home, my wheel slipped on some mud, I landed my right arm. No breaks or fractures, but banged up my elbow pretty bad.

Apollo 8 was the first crewed lunar flight. Nobody had ever sailed so far, against such staggering odds, as Bill Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman did during Christmas in 1968. They made a famous Christmas Eve broadcast wishing everyone on earth a merry Christmas. #LEGO #NASA

The California – every good train has a name – is my own creation, inspired by the Southern Pacific's Coast Daylight with the color scheme of the Pacific Surfliner. Instead of a dining/cafe car, I gave it a cantina car. I made the cars with removable walls for easy access. #LEGO #MOC #Train

San Francisco Muni streetcar no. 1052 departing the Castro District in the rain, with the landmarked giant rainbow flag and Sutro Tower in the background. The first stop on the F-Market & Wharves line is my corner. #streetcar #sfmuni @sfmta.com

30 years ago, it was very much not "OK to be gay." Even for Star Trek. So it was actor Andrew Robinson who chose on his own to play Elim Garak (a simple tailor) secretly in love with Dr. Bashir. Star Trek: Lower Decks gave us an alternate universe where they're a couple. #StarTrek #LowerDecks

During the pandemic, a 2 mile section of the Great Highway was closed to traffic to create a waterfront public park. It remained on weekend-only until November, when voted to make it permanent. Planning for an early 2025 park conversion is well underway.

San Francisco is notoriously steep. There's even a famous song about late-night California Street Muni service. For folks who live here, the agreed-upon metic of "steep" is seems to be when a sidewalk requires a staircase. At the top of this one is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

San Francisco Muni streetcar no. 1073 departing the Castro toward Fisherman’s Wharf, with the LGBT+ flag in the background. Watching the F-line streetcars going into service is part of my morning routine getting coffee (at the Castro Coffee Company) and walking my dog to Dolores Parks.

Walking my dog to Dolores Park during a break in the rain (and killing 15 min until Castro Coffee Company opened), I caught a rainbow apparently falling on my apartment behind Everett Middle School.
