what's new in your neighborhood?

Last night was the opening party etc. One of the Museum people said it was their biggest opening ever.

Looks great! I'll definitely add it to my todo list. A pity tonight's party is full, I bet it will be tons of fun!
Thanks for the update and preview!

 

One of the historic Painted Ladies houses is going up for sale. The listing photos shows the condition of the interior (shocking to see how much of it was left to deteriorate), the rooms and spaces have great potential, if you can get past the visual decay. Wondering how much it will finally sell for?!

Today and throughout the weekend promises to be ideal for watching king tides! Just be careful where you are when you are watching, and stay safe!

Woah, those are nuts right now!

 

Found a great website for live webcams of the Bay Area!

That peregrine falcon cam is awesome. Good on PG&E (I guess). I love spotting a peregrine up by me in Sonoma county but they're few and far between for the most part.

 

Joe, we gotta get you out of the house one day...! missed you at Josh's Christmas party pre-kid. saw Flynn and DCON and there were rumblings about BASK reunion somewhere sometime. I wouldn't mind tradefest at the same time. regardless, it's been way too long since I've seen many of you. except surprisingly Zavaleta who I had the pleasure of seeing in NY last fall.

 

SF Golden Gate Park Bison Paddock, welcomed five young bison, an addition to the small herd of six existing bison! Very cute and fuzzy. Thank you Mr. Blum!
Apparently the bison roam around 7 acres, but I'm not sure if that is correct?

Woah little dudes! I gotta go back and take photos!

 

I was just reading about that. Looking forward to bringing the family down to check them out

 

I’m forever game to do a TradeFest in SF. Just say the word. Somebody!

 

How about a virtual gathering?
Photos of what you got!

 

MASSIVE runs on Trader Joes stores. No or very low water, freezer section is wiped out, lots of chocolate cake though...
No more TJ rose raspberry chocolate bars!

*If you are going to stock up on food and water, please remember your PETS, and get extra pet food too. Just in case you have to self-quarantine and can't go out, your fuzzy furries still need food

 

Well, it's official! Bay Area counties are implementing Shelter-In-Place orders as of 3/17/20 midnight through April 7!

The news is changing constantly, so no doubt other counties will be added

 

Yeah at least grocery stores are still running as well as hospitals and delivery companies will still get us packages. Hopefully everybody stays sane and healthy. I'm really really worried about people financially right now.

 

So, where do you all get your toilet paper from (in SF). We're down to 1and 2/3rd and my brother doesn't seem to be alarmed about that at all. This is worse than toy hunting.

 

Trader Joes has facial tissue. use that, but do not flush it in the toilet, it will cause clogging over time. even the tissue box says do not flush.good luck.

 

Persistence with Amazon Prime / Amazon Fresh eventually pays off. Or give your butt a treat with flushable wipes. Good luck!

 

meh, just get a Toto Washlet. washes and then dries your pooty poot...!

 

Just buy a lota, but don’t ever use your right hand. That way you can give up toilet paper entirely, and be cleaner. Doubles as a house plant water dispenser!

 

I live in the east bay and all the markets have plenty of toilet paper. Just take a little drive over the bridge. Traffic should be fine these days.

 

Scored! Thanks all.

 

If anybody is more present here than on news site, 6 Bay Area county have now issued order to cover our faces in public. Fun time.

 

Just in case you were wondering about the Pier 39 sea lions, they seem to be doing ok. Probably missing the free lunches and "room service", but they are still there!

ALIENS! ok, well just Alien...
Took a walk along Chrissy Field and Fort Funston over the weekend, and finally saw the Flying Saucer "boat" on the Bay (built by Eric Staller). I've seen this weird and wonderful contraption moored at the Fort Mason boat harbor many times, but it was nice to see it finally in action...
