So, took a trip to Muir Woods last weekend, the first since I arrived here in the Barbary Coast, and wasn't disappointed (well, maybe a little with the parking situation, but let's not quibble over details).
Pics to follow once I stop being lazy and watching John Adams on HBO every spare fucking moment.

OT: I'm Hoping That This Time Won't Be the Same
I'm hoping that this election won't amount to the same choice I have been forced to make since 1996: the least of two evils.
After Hillary's 'victories' in Ohio and Texas today, and McCain's inevitable assumption of the Republican throne, I have to admit that I'm finding even my usual glass-half-full outlook thoroughly challenged. I can only now imagine a McCain-Clinton national ticket that affords the Republicans yet another term in the executive office due almost solely to Hillary's divisive influence.
I'm not saying that Obama is some sort of panacea. However, at least his rhetoric (to assign it the most base level of import at it's critics' behest) is inclusive and progressive in its stance. In my humble - albeit correct - opinion Obama represents not only a solid and prudent choice for effective and deliberate executive leadership, but also the best chance that we have as a country to unite under a common perspective.
So, I guess we'll tarry on from here, content to watch the Democratic race play itself out. I'd like to be as diplomatic, pragmatic and forward-thinking as Dave Kos has been on the subject, but then again I'm not Dave Kos.
Here we go....let's see if the Dems do exactly what everyone expects us to do: kill ourselves before anyone else gets a chance to.
