Holy Crap, I Ran Bay to Breakers!

Last night, stuffed to the gills at Jed and Andrea's BBQ I was reminded that the Bay to Breakers foot race was this morning and figured since I wasn't doing anything I might as well go for it and I managed to run the entire thing (including the Hayes hill Andrea!) which is so much easier to do with 10,000 other people running with you and bands, cheering and what not. Though I am sitting here in my stink wondering how bad it's going to hurt tomorrow. I've already started popping Advil...but damn I LOVE running. I need a couple showers.

¡Ya Voté!

The San Francisco municipal elections are tonight, a night of excitement and community. One of the measures was Proposition G which asked, "Shall the City establish a Golden Gate Park Stables Matching Fund to be used for the renovation, repair, and maintenance of the Golden Gate Park stables and provide up to $750,000 in matching City revenues toward this Fund?" The idea being, for each $3 donated by individuals or corporations the City would donate $1.

Now I can see how someone might be for or against such a measure (horses are purdy vs. can't we use this money to incarcerate someone?) but the line in the "Opponents Argument Against Proposition G" that caught my eye was this one:
SEND THE HORSE STABLE TO THE GLUE FACTORY.

With rhetoric like that, how can you NOT vote against the measure?
