Mental Gyrations

Monday I had to make a trip to San Francisco. As I left town I noticed this Memorial/Shrine at the corner of Harrison and Oak. I noted the skateboard and thought, oh god!, I hope it wasn't some skateboard kid got hit and killed at this intersection.

When I got home in the evening I asked my neighbor if he had heard anything about some kid getting hit on Oak Street. He has a scanner but he said he has been too busy to listen lately.

This morning, during my walk, I made sure to include the shrine for a closer look. That is when I noticed the word, "Princess". Oh no! A girl skateboarder!! Damn!

C&G market was open across the street so I went in and asked the counter person if she knew anything about the shrine. She said, "Somebody's dog got hit."

Oh.

    I'm not seeing any photos from today and only one (handprints) from Monday. Is it at my end or yours?

  2. I couldn't help but laugh when I read that!
    I really wish they would not allow people to put stuff beside the road. If it was my loved one (or pet) I would not want to be reminded every time I rode by.
