| Foggy Forest, Golden Gate Heights Park |
I was a little shocked when I checked the Yosemite Valley forecast and saw that it was going to be over 100 degrees this week. According to the National Weather Service, it was 94 there around noon and could hit a high of 107; meanwhile it's 63 here in the Sunset District, and we're expecting a high of 66 -- a 40-degree difference in the highs!
Something completely different gave me a shock this morning when I
read that a guy my age and his artist wife were robbed at gunpoint near the bison paddock, and the thieves were after the guy's Nikon camera. A trial attorney quoted in the story said a lot of folks get robbed in Golden Gate Park, and that this was not an extraordinary case! Welcome to San Francisco.

| What do you know? A "seal" (actually a sea lion) at Seal Rocks. It looks like a youngster hanging out with the usual gulls and cormorants. |
