I'm not exactly sure of the message the person with the bright-red nail polish was trying to convey, but the result did catch my eye. Snap.

A sight like this in San Francisco, on Market Street just down from Castro, is certainly not uncommon, and I usually see no real value in capturing candid shots of despair, but this little tableau really stunned me in a most bothering sort of way. She was snoring softly. The pigeon was eyeing the cat kibble. I need to go back, find her, and give her some money. Just so sad...
There is just something dead wrong with a former teacher ending up on the cold and hard streets. I blame that Buffoon, Arnold "The Terminator" Schwartzenegger -- the man who was supposed to rescue us from the previous Buffoon (Gray Davis). We can also put a good deal of the blame on San Francisco's Mayor, Gavin Newsom, who seems to be a unique hybrid of Buffoon and A**hole.

And gosh, you don't think I would go to the Castro District and not come home with a few photos like this, do you? This blog is supposed to be rated G, so I'm afraid I'd better not show you some others.
But I finally figured out how to make an "animated gif" using PhotoshopCS3 -- even realizing that the effect is rather obnoxious. Oh, I couldn't restrain myself...

My daughter sent me this link around a month ago and I have been savoring it ever since. I hope you can catch up with that homeless teacher again...touching. Send her my love, too!

BTW, she probably would have preferred to see you use the correct spelling of "buffoon". :)
HI LARRY - I appreciate the correction. Actually I shoud go find the exact meaning of "buffoon" if I'm going to be tossing it around so freely. --Oh darn, I wish I still had my Dictionary of American Slang -- I gave it to someone a few years ago in a gag-gift exchange. I bet I probably could have come up with a word even better than buffoon...
The first pic. is so sad. I hope you can find her and get her story.

That animated GIF is obnoxious, but works perfectly with the material.
I like the .gif. Probably won't come as surprise ;)
