We were sitting at Uber Tavern this weekend drinking a few beers, and the bartender brings in these awesome looking sandwiches that he and his buddies start chowing down on. He notices us staring (And possibly drooling just a little bit) and he throws us their menu and says, "It's only 3 blocks up the street and the sandwiches are great. Just order now. They close in 20 minutes."

Last night we were standing on our back porch-like thing (which is actually more related, in terms of dimensions, to a hallway except instead of a bathroom at the end of it there's a Weber) in Wallingford. It was raining and we were drinking a can of beer and wondering where all the T-storms and hail were. Never showed, Double Doppler. And we thought back on some of the heavy weather that did show up as promised in the past few months. In fact some of the shingles that were blown off of the house up the street during the wind storm are still down there in the back yard, nearly completely covered by the spring grass. That violently diagonal stump a few houses up the hill? Still there. Still more unearthed than not. And this is relatively lightly winded Wallingford. They're probably still running on battery power in Duval.

About a year ago Seattlest drove down to San Francisco and saw some of the touristy sights -the most mainstream among them being the bridge they've got down there: Golden something-or-other. It was cool. It's a great bridge and there are some pretty neat views available from it if you walk out there, and walking out there is generally encouraged by the wide walking path. One of the things that struck us as being particularly photo-worthy, though, was the emergency telephone we passed by. "If you're about to jump pick up the phone," or something like that it said. The Golden Gate is San Francisco's suicide hotspot.
