Incoming ships with goods have been replaced by big boatloads of tourists.
I travel to San Francisco on a regular basis. Usually for no apparent reason.

Funny business--some say with this huge privately funded "public" sculpture. Over the top--the ego of the Fisher family, knowing exactly what we wanted.

So here is the controversy in a nutshell: Over many years the S.F. Arts Commission has allowed a great number of artists to show their privately owned work in public spaces for a limited amount of time. For some reason, Don Fisher's "Cupid's-Span" was not held accountable to the same rules as everybody else. Like it, hate it, or just can't figure it out--we're stuck with it.

Meanwhile, in Northbeach, dinner is served. Heavy on garlic. Splash of oil. Maybe a little real art, maybe a little live music. Get some bodies dancing.
