Time to buy ice cube trays

How far will one man go to get ice for his scotch?

Lack of ice, a situation easily remedied, right?

I got off the bus two block east of the stop that is across the street from my apartment, and walked one block west, and one block north to get to Walgreens. They were out of ice. I walked another block North to a liquor store. They had ice, but a $7.00 minimum purchase with debit cards. All I needed was ice, and I didn’t have any cash. I just couldn’t justify buying $5.00 worth of stuff I didn’t want or need to get my $2.00 bag of ice. I walked one block East, and them two blocks South, looking for an ATM. The only one I could find cost me $2.00 for the non-network ATM (not counting the $2.00 that my bank will charge me for using a non BofA ATM). Nevertheless, I was getting frustrated, and my eventual glass of scotch would be worth all this effort. Another block South and then a block West brought me to a small grocery store. They were out of ice! So my trek continued another block South to yet another liquor store. They had ice! Now I’m only two block South, and one block East of my apartment.  I’ll leave it to you to count how many blocks I went looking for ice.

But it was worth it!

Walking is WAY underrated

A new camera, a healing leg, a beautiful day in a beautiful city makes for a great day and an even greater appreciation for walking and...some new photos

I broke my leg about two months ago. Maybe one of these days I’ll share photos and tell the story, but not today. If you’re interested, here’s a quicktime movie that shows how my leg was repaired by a carpenter/surgeon. Caution, it’s 10 mb, and be sure to have the volume turned up as the audio is kinda low.

Anyways, the relevant thing for this blog entry is that for the first time in two months, I was feeling good enough to meander up Market Street!!!

I’ve got a new toy, a Sony DSC-T9, that I’ve been itching to play around with, so after work, I headed up Market Street.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day, the first after many weeks of rain. Even though I was walking slow, and it was not a pain-free experience, I very much enjoyed the walk. It reminded me how much I enjoy being out in the city, enjoying the beauty of San Francisco, and its inhabitants. You are most welcome to check out some of the photos that I took today.
