I now realize I wasted part of my youth planning to go to Haight-Ashbury and join the revolution. I walked to, through and from this area of San Francisco. I saw some interesting shops ( I can't believe there is a market for that many expensive bongs) and ate in a cool Cuban restaurant. I saw some folks who may have been living there since '68. I saw some folks who wanted me to believe they were there since '68. I mostly saw capitalists of whom I am one. I don't feel so bad about missing the revolution.
We were going to walk through the state park at the end of Haight Street but the contact high turned us around. Caring Kim couldn't understand or tolerate how people that couldn't feed themselves were able to take care of so many pets. Evey body had a scraggly looking dog. This is what actually turned us around.
So as it turns out, in my old age, I am more suited to the Bohemian style of Sausalito than the grunge of Haight-Ashbury. Even at my age, I'm more yuppy than hippie. My dogs would have preferred the hippies.
