Karl The Fog holds many secrets, including what most of the fireworks in the San Francisco Bay looked like last night. 🌁🇺🇸

The morning after

The fireworks debris and smell of cordite in the air are expected; the fresh sideshow marks are a nice bonus touch. But the flag fluttering in the breeze in the background is the real grace note. Happy 250th, everyone!

Happy July 4th! When is SF getting independence from PGE?

My PGE bills have doubled (not joking, actually doubled!) since March because of their new base service charge scam. When are we getting independent of their scammy thieving asses?

Behold! The first tomato of a Sunset summer...

I planted a sweet 100 cherry tomato back in April, knowing I might not get fruit until our "true" summer in Sept/Oct. This morning, I found a single deep red wonder just waiting for me. Second pic, single cherry tomato amuse-bouche, the "Parkside Special": EVOO, balsamic syrup, basil from my garden, black pepper, aged gouda curls, and a tiny tomato with a skin as tough as wind worn leather. Penny for scale, as I have no bananas. What's growing in your garden?

The Civic Center lasers actually benefitted from the fog

I don't think I would've recognized the stars and stipes if it weren't for Karl providing a canvas! Well done Illuminate!

Lost Green Card & Small Red Wallet – CASH REWARD

Lost Green Card & Small Red Wallet – CASH REWARD
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a small red/burgundy card wallet that I believe I lost at Costco in San Francisco.
The wallet itself isn’t valuable, but it contains my U.S. Green Card, which is extremely important to me. I’ve already canceled my bank cards, so I’m only hoping to recover my immigration documents and IDs.
If anyone found it or knows someone who did, please send me a private message. I am offering a cash reward for its safe return no questions asked.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate any help.

The July 4th Waymo traffic nightmare

My girlfriend and I made the foolish decision tonight to try and drive into the city to see the fireworks. We proceeded to sit in the worst traffic of our lives going through Presidio. That honestly wouldn't have been so bad, if not for Waymo.

They were everywhere. I'm talking dozens and dozens. I presume they were down there for post fireworks, to take everyone where they needed to go. But they were unquestionably makimg everything worse. Pulling out to make left hand turn and just waiting in the middle of the street for it to be clear. Blocking both lanes of traffic. They were pulling over in no parking zones for no apparent reason. No passenger loading or anything. Just stopped with hazards on. Again blocking traffic.

At one point, we were stuck in a complete standstill for 15 minutes. Thanks to a street full of Waymos, with 1 at the front that was glitching out. Some of the other waymos tried to pass and ended up head on with oncoming traffic. These human drivers. Now everyone is completely stuck. Waymo completely glitches out. Throws the hazards on. Leaves this person blocked in. They end up having to reverse out of the street they were on to turn around. Eventually we had to make the choice to fight our way through traffic just to go home. It was clear we were not going to get close. Humans are freaking out. Trying to turn around, anything to get out of this mess. Causing the congestion to be amplified even more

We live in San Carlos. Left at 6pm and we ended up back home around 10:30. Absolutely a 0/10 nightmare. In hindsight, driving really was a poor decision.

I like waymo but they need to figure their shit out before they try to send large fleets to congested areas of the city during a holiday

Edit: my post wasnt to offer a general opinion on all waymos, nor was it to say that this years traffic was any worse than other years. I just wanted to point out some of the wild behavior I saw from some waymo cars on the 4th that undoubtedly made (the already existent) traffic worse

Fireworks at the Golden Gate

Went out with some friends to the beaches to try and see a different view of the fireworks, wasn’t super crowded and managed to have a few nice moments!

All photos are mine, last one was taken a little before the show started.

Fireworks still great in the fog

Lots of folks online seem intent on being bummers about the fact it was foggy. Folks down at the waterfront sure seemed to still have a good time though.

Photo mine, taken tonight down by fort point
