I'm addicted
One of the great things about living in San Francisco, and living the Castro for that matter, is that we have so many wonderful food options. We are in walking distance of so many great restaurants that range in price as well as diversity.
Our newest discovery is Kasa, an "Indian Taqueria".
The menu is very simple - you select from 6 menu items (Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry, Aloo Jeera, etc.,) which is rolled in a yummy Roti (thin, flaky, buttery bread). It is also served with raita (a yogurt-cucumber dish) and a nice salad of jicama, cabbage, and red pepper. Yum!
All this for $5.50. You can't beat that.
So, yeah, I'm pretty addicted. It's only about 5 blocks away, and it's cheap and yummy. Between lunch and dinner, I've already been 3 times in the last week! egads.

Goodbye, Opus.
Opus is leaving the building.
This time, it's for good.
Berkeley Breathed, the cartoonist who brought us Bloom County, Outland, and Opus is retiring again. He plans to pursue other interests, such as writing books and screenplays.
I was a huge fan of Bloom County, although I admit that once Outland and especially Opus came out, I had stopped reading the Sunday Comics. (because I stopped getting the Sunday paper. Not because I wanted to stop reading comics!)
here's an article about Breathed's retirement on sfgate.com.
Goodbye, dear Opus. Thanks for all the laughs!

Backyard: Day 7
The backyard project is coming along!
Monday morning, a whole bunch of lumber was delivered, and the crew started to work on the forms. They also started to set some of the beams in concrete. So far, they have the beams set for the top deck, as well as forms for the two large retaining walls. They also set the posts for the planter in concrete and the built that smaller retaining wall.

Natural Instinct
Oh, this is very funny.
My Mom took this photo last week from the sliding glass door of her house, looking out to the backyard.
Her initial reason for taking this photo was that there was a hawk (yes, a HAWK) visiting her backyard.
Sure, that's interesting enough. We don't see many hawks in our backyards here.
But, the best part is that she captured the reaction of a squirrel upon seeing the hawk.
The poor squirrel instinctively flattened itself as close to the ground as possible, and froze there, hoping that the hawk wouldn't notice it.
Can't you just hear that poor squirrel thinking, "CRAP!"?
Don't worry - this story has a happy ending. The squirrel managed to get away by doing a slow army crawl across the patio without the hawk ever noticing.
apologies to any PG-13 and under readers for using the word "crap" twice in this post. I hope your parents will forgive me. ;)
