The Mayor's move down the hill exposed him to the latest summer treat along the Coast: cool, damp, fog, in copious amount throughout the SF Bay Area. What a summer they're having in the City! Have you watched a Giants' home game? All the fans have heavy jackets, hats, some gloves even: it's cold at AT&T Park. Last night's game featured flags whipped straight out on their poles, fly balls were a serious challenge, even for the Giants outfielders.
The lowly Cubs put the hurt on Cy Young winner Lincecum, sending him home with a loss and the worst 1st inning of his brief career. Tomorrow, they'll do better.
Meanwhile, the Mayor is gearing up for a jarring climate change. No, not global warming, but a visit to the Gulf Coast for a follow up inspection of oil blow out cleanup efforts by government/private operations. The mayor does not relish the weather at this time in Louisiana: high temps, high humidity(90+%), and rain-thundershowers. But, hotel rates are at their yearly rock bottom prices. Who would go there otherwise?
On the other hand, tourists will be in scarce numbers and many locals will have fled. However, schools have reopened, so the Big Easy will be functioning normally in most respects. The two named hurricanes so far have been weak systems, causing nothing more than temporary interruptions of offshore cleanup efforts by BP,etal.
My next report will be from River City!
Where's the review of the trip to the Crescent City?!
