What is that sound?

our version of a 911 call
Bob: "That's the same sound I heard earlier, when I asked if you had your cell phone on 'vibrate'."
Suz: "What is it?"
Bob: "Maybe the neighbor upstairs had their phone on vibrate and it got left behind by accident and they're calling it to find it?"
Suz: "Whatever it is it's weird!"

20 hours later

Suz: "Bob come over here, check out the fog rolling down the street."
Bob: "Holy cow we were just outside and there wasn't a cloud in the sky."
Suz: "Pretty cool, huh?"
Bob: "Yep"

3 hours later

Bob & Suz in chorus: "There's that sound again!"
Bob and/or Suz: "I bet it's a fog horn."
Bob: "You know it might be, we'll have to check into that."

Turns out it it sure could have been. I went and "Googled it" and here's some of what I found. on yelp.com THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT IT TOO! This place is full of excitement.

More on the noise.



And the comments on "You tube" related to the video are pretty interesting as well!

Walk in the Park

Well, we're only 4 blocks from "Golden Gate Park", so we went on a reconnaissance mission. And we found flowers blooming in December, on trees no less. A holly bush along a path in the woods, a few good trails, tunnels, views, community buildings (conservatory, museum and science center) and the schedule for free admittance to the facilities - it pays to go to the information center and say "hi, were interested in exploring this cool park by our house."

New Saturday Routine

One thing we found to our liking is the abundance of fresh fruits and veggies - there happen to be more than 4 farmers markets throughout the city during the week. We have made it a point to make the "Saturday Market" part of our routine. We hear it costs more and it's crodwed but it's cool - we're not sure how it costs more seeing that stuff is pretty cheap! Regardless, there are farmers, cooks, coffee makers/roasters (Blu Bottle Coffee - more on that in another post), bakers, cheese makers, butchers... Suzanne found this really good Panir Cheese that comes from a dairy in Marin county which is the county right over the Golden Gate - more on that during your visit we're sure, as it's become a staple in our fridge. Oh yes, and the fresh yogurt - another new staple that comes in the local dairies very own returnable container. Of course, after we fill our bag with fresh groceries we have to go explore so this day we wandered to "Fog City Diner", this place has personality, then onto "Coit Tower" by sidewalk (stairwalk) and "North Beach" the Italian neighborhood.
