They haven&#8217;t leveled the place out since you&#8217;ve last been there, so I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s a disappointment, but we managed to get a room at this fancypants place&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_546.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_546.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Some sort of lovely picture...\" \/><\/a> It&#8217;s one of those joints that has a restaurant on the top floor that has a pretty decent view. Let&#8217;s say that the hotel was called Mark-something-something. What would you call the place on top? Anybody?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_547.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_547.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Some sort of lovely picture...\" \/><\/a> Some residents of San Francisco like to lay about, of course. You&#8217;ve certainly heard of the problems with immigrants there who do nothing but live off the largess of the state. It&#8217;s a sanctuary city, after all&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_548.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_548.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Some sort of lovely picture...\" \/><\/a> Then, of course, we happened upon Bay Area dorks. It&#8217;s a little scary to see, especially if they get too close. Wouldn&#8217;t want that stuff to rub off on you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_549.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bobtherieau.com\/images\/blog\/idy_549.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"dorks!\" \/><\/a> After the dorks, I was hoping that we could find a way to get rid of them.

[rant mode engaged] The parade was organized by people who thought that a commemoration of America&#8217;s independence would be inconvenient to church goers on Sunday. That, or they may not know how to work a calendar. There are adult education classes for that.

Mom&#8217;s friend&#8217;s son brought his pet opossum to the barbecue. Naturally. Not weird at all.
