Castro and Market

Last night the friend I'm staying with joined me for dinner at Catch, a restaurant near the intersection of Castro and Market, where I took this snapshot.

Undershopping

If it's underwear you want, Injeanious in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood fills the bill nicely. They have jeans and other clothing items, too, but the selection of designer (and sexy) undies is exceptional.

Naturally I took the opportunity to try on and purchase several. And of course, being something of an exhibitionist, I left the curtain to my changing room wide open. It was in the back corner of the store, which wasn't very busy. But a few interested customers and some very helpful sales staff took note. My only regret is that my friend Andy (a talented photographer who is also visiting San Francisco) wasn't there to document it. So I have to settle for these less-than ideal photos taken by others.

I debated whether to make this post friends-only but since there is no full frontal nudity, I decided to grin and bare it. But there will probably be some friends-only posts from this weekend's adventures. At least I hope so!

Precious, precious parking

In the densely populated areas of San Francisco, parking is a scarce commodity. And if you're lucky enough to have a garage, the last thing you want is someone's inept or inconsiderate parking to block your way. The owner of this garage makes that point with delightful eloquence. By the way, when I took this photo, a car was parked so as to block the driveway completely. C'est la guerre.
