Oh dear, my county (Pierce County), now has their first Coronavirus patient.

Goodnight!

Oh no. I hope it isn't serious.

'night Tom.

Good evening, all.

Three days has not been enough for San Francisco.

Today, I figured out the Muni transit system. Made it to the Castro, which, except for a few sex toy shops, is rather quaint.

I found a chocolate truffle maker and had several for a second breakfast.

Then I walked over to the Haight-Ashbury area. The walk there was actually very nice, despite it being mostly uphill.

I had two lunches there, some New York-style pizza at a place called Escape from New York and later fish and chips at an Irish pub.

Then I walked to the train station and headed off to Berkeley. There I walked up a nature trail beyond the university. I found a trail of stairs down that had a beautiful view of the ocean.

Before dinner I went to a bookstore and found a fascinating contagion volume called A Time to Dance, a Time to Die. It’s about the bizarre dancing plague of 1518.

I am pleased you are enjoying your visit.

I have never heard of this plague.

Then it was dinner at Chez Panisse, which was a precious memory in the making. The people sitting next to me were from Dallas and we talked a little. The visit was a pilgrimage for them, too. It was the woman’s birthday. She sat next to me on a communal banquette. We were soon swapping tastes of food. She loved my side fish of Spanish anchovies. I loved the mint herbal sauce on her rigatoni.

I ate, drank and dined in style, then went next door to a bar Alice Waters owns called Cesar (another film in the Pagnol film cycle where the name Panisse comes from) and had a post dinner drink and snack.

I returned to the AirBnB and soaked for a while.

John G. · « **Reply #137 on:** March 06, 2020, 10:44:04 PM »

Now I’m ready for bed.

John G. · « **Reply #138 on:** March 06, 2020, 10:44:19 PM »

Good night, all.

Jane · « **Reply #139 on:** March 06, 2020, 10:45:28 PM »

Dinner did not disappoint 😊

Jane · « **Reply #140 on:** March 06, 2020, 10:46:42 PM »

I will pass on reading about the strange plaque and will watch for your comments.

Back from a very good show and a smaller but great audience - actually bigger than most Friday nights.

Jane · « **Reply #142 on:** March 06, 2020, 11:21:23 PM »

Excellent.

bk · « **Reply #143 on:** March 06, 2020, 11:31:53 PM »

Made burger three, which put me a bit over 1000 calories, then used the rest of the lettuce for a little salad with balsamic dressing.

Well, I'm off to work concessions. I wonder if anyone who bought a ticket will stay home, or if anyone cares. We'll see.

Be back later.

I'm home.

I didn't hear what the final audience count was, but it seemed pretty full.

George · « **Reply #146 on:** March 06, 2020, 11:52:55 PM »

The three comedians were all very funny, but the MC who introduced the others was probably the funniest.

George · « **Reply #147 on:** March 06, 2020, 11:53:11 PM »

A good time was had by all!

George · « **Reply #148 on:** March 06, 2020, 11:53:37 PM »

Afterward, Margo and I went to Applebee's for a late dinner.

George · « **Reply #149 on:** March 06, 2020, 11:55:07 PM »

I had one of their half-price-because-it-was-happy-hour appetizers, Wonton Chicken Tacos!
