Did you hear the one about the dyslexic insomniac agnostic?He stays up all night wondering if there is a Dog.
I'm not dyslexic, insomniac, or agnostic, but I do believe in Dog.
And that's what makes today special: it's the start of the Chinese New Year. 4704. The Year Of The Dog.
The festivities began this morning with a 10K foot race, which zigzagged through Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, The Embarcadero, and Downtown; ending at Portsmouth Square for the post-race party. At 8:00 AM, the deafening sound of thousands of firecrackers signaled the start of the race. Fireworks are illegal in San Francisco, but the police traditionally look the other way during the two-week long Chinese New Year celebrations.
FreeThinker's 10K time: 53:35.

So that's why this costume at the Longtanhu Temple Fair in Beijing looks more like a dog than a dragon?

Hello there!
You look so much alike a friend that I have in Brazil!
Very interesting your Blog, full of pictures, and life.
It seems that you enjoy life, more than anyone...
I do not like sushi - :-(
Thank you for your visit!

Cool Blog ! Thanks for the comment
Dyslexic agnostic? No...but I heard about a dyslexic devil worshipper who sold his soul to Santa.
Praise Dog!
So what did the tarot card/palm reader have in store for your future?
Year of the dog! ... man that looks fun.
Oh hell yes.... haha, I just saw the fro...
right column 6th pic down.....what are those? they look like mini pecan pies
Starla - Cute dog indeed! It is the Year of the Dog, after all!
Jasmine - The waters of the San Francisco Bay are a little too cold for me, so I am sure you would beat me in a swimming race! Plus, unlike you, I have no fins...
Jason - The traditional dragon has gone to the dogs this year!
AscenderRisesAbove - Even if you said my photos were "dogs" that would still be a compliment!
Alice - It's easy to take good photos here in photogenic San Francisco!
Poemas - I hope my Brazilian twin enjoys life as much as I do! And I hope someday you will enjoy sushi as much as I do!
babyG - Come back soon!
Pat - Hail Santa!
Radio - As you might guess, I am a skeptic. I don't believe in any supernatural stuff, including tarot/palm reading. Hence the irony of the photo!
Djohns - It will be a fun year ... and not just for our furry faithful companions! PS ~ Don't mess with the 'fro!
Allison - Your Texas bias is shining through! Those are not pecan pies - it is just a fancy design on a Chinatown building. Now I'm hungry for a sweet slice of pecan pie a la mode ... do you know how hard it is to find this dessert dish in San Francisco? Sometimes I miss Texas!
