San Francisco Update

Castro Valley….just like the rest of America. 

We did go to The Warf, watched football, got a 

glimpse of the Bay, bought a hoodie, (Christ it

was cold)…going back in Friday to meet an old

friend. Everyplace is becoming the same place

in America more and more…..the earth, even the

same dirt is not so visible…earthiness…but I did

share a cigarette and a chat with a very nice black 

woman outside the pub. That kind of simple 

human contact means everything anymore.

I did see myself in the mirror more than I ever do

in Mexico, so, I got a haircut. Not exciting, exactly,

but, really good. It's hard to get obsessed about the

tragic things that are happening in American right

now, because, right now, I'm in America, and I
just  had the best Indian food I've tasted in years,

bought some things I wanted at reasonable prices,
and as always, am completely blown away by the 

infrastructure. It doesn't add up…..yet. Somehow,

it's rather like balancing on the top of a wedding

cake.  I have no idea what that means….later.
