Level Of Difficulty at Work: .25 out of 10
Time During Lunch: Long (By accident)
Yesterday, fluffielady and i roamed the north beach area. We normally go over there when people come visit, we do the tourist thing. But yesterday was one of those rare inbetween sunny days that we decided to float about. Fluffielady wanted to shop, but to shop in fishermans wharf isn't practical, unless you really want SF shirts, hats and alcatraz crap. We did get a loaf bread at the newly redone Boudins factory / meuseum (?!) which charges 3$ for a tour of bread.
After we went to Coit tower to seek out the mythical Parrots of Telegraph hill. The only negative is of course parking, but once we got a spot we roamed around and found a staircase that headed to Julius' Castle (never ate there). It was walking towards the castle that you heard the chirping and rustling, after reaching halfway down the steep staircase that you see the redheaded green parrots. There was about a dozen of them picking on a fruit tree. It was funny to see one parrot pick a good sized fruit, take a bite and down the fruit went to the ground. There was a group of 8-10 people there watching as well. We hung out for about 15 minutes and something scared them and they all took flight in one big mass of green fluttering amongst the clear blue sky, chirping as they go. Kinda neat, those silly birds.
Time to shift subjects. Back in the day when i was mountain biking like a savage, i told myself if i'd ever break my legs, i'd do downhill wheelchairing (now called a fourcross), which was the extreme thing to do. Luckily i never ate it hard much.
But this looks like fun as well:
