Ocean Beach

Zoo

I've been coming out here since 1996 and I realized I had never got out to the zoo.

So this morning, I took the L and the end-of-the-line is the SF Zoo.

It is an ok zoo. Not great. Not bad. But ok.

Columbus Zoo is actually a lot nicer, but obviously, the general landscape of northern California makes the zoo a lot prettier with huge acacia trees and all kinds of plantage.

The L got me to the Zoo a bit early so I walked down a block and walked along the ocean.

It was very cold and very very windy at 9:30 in the morning.

I realized that this is the area where we used to come and build fires back in 1997.

I believe this is where I first heard the Kristin The Trannie say "Feel my boobs. They're tingly."

I was really shocked how cold it was.

I forgot how the ocean side of San Francisco is so totally different in climate than the Bay side.

I was in the mood to spend decent money on breakfast on the way to the Zoo and decided to go to Tad's Steakhouse. I've walked by it for 12 years and never had never even there so I figured I'd try it.

For $14, the steak and eggs was utterly mediocre.

I was really disappointed. I suppose the steak was ok. The home fries were utter shit.

For $8 in Cowtown you can get a great steak and eggs breakfast.

I expected more.

(2:15 AM Pacific Standard Time)

So I'm in a shitload of pain.

The walk down the terminal of Port Cowtown just killed me.

I think the main culprit is my laptop bag. It is throwing my already poor back-to-hip-to-knee posture and ripping up my knee cartilage bigtime.

I had to stop twice to just stand still for a bit. :-(

This trip is going to be a real challenge. That much is certain.

Of course, there was an unexpected $15 charge to check in a bag. That was then following by getting a Cup-O-Joe coffee that I was then not able to take past security. So I just pitched $2 of decent coffee only to then buy $2 of shitty Starbucks once I passed the checkpoint.

Shockwave apparently made it into my laptop bag for the trip.

However, he seems to have lost his left arm. Of course, bastard that he is, he can still cause massive havoc with merely his laser arm!!! Can't pick up anything though.

(Giga. If you see a little purple-grey arm laying around... you know it belongs to the cruel cold bad ass of logic!)
