Message from Deep Purgatory

Although my life is currently in an excruciating place in Limbo, the surroundings are scenic (I believe this premise has been used in comedy sketches in the past).

I am currently staying in the Inner Sunset District of San Francisco, two blocks & around the corner from the offices of Craigslist

 

People in San Francisco are very environmentally-conscious, and insist upon placing their garbage somewhere in the vicinity of designated trash receptacles.

 

Today was the first Tuesday of the month, which meant it was free day at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. Free, that is, except for the featured exhibit, in this case glasswork by some artist named Chihuly (who I’ve never heard of. so I’m a Philistine…). In this case, I was on the viewing platform on the top of the tower, when a woman realized she had an urgent appointment and was unable to use her ticket to the featured exhibit, so she gave it to me (pictures are on the way).

Here is a picture of the new De Young Museum:

 

Apparently the tower was designed to suggest a Mayan pyramid. Careful what time you head up to the tower: I understand they arbitrarily select a visiter from the crowd for Human Sacrifice. Probably just people without tickets– I was probably safe after I got the ticket.

I also have other albums that I’m working on, comprised of photos from various places around San Francisco. Keep tuning in– I’ll be adding more as I go.
