The cold, wet weather has kept the tourists away. There was only a short wait for the cable car at Powell & Market.
The downside of expansion is loss of cachet. Now that the Hawaiian plate lunch chain, L&L, has expanded to the mainland, I no longer feel the urge to make daily visits to their outlets when I'm in the Islands. The L&L on Kearny is a few blocks from my office, but I don't go there often for health reasons---a Hawaiian plate lunch is a calorie- and fat-laden assortment of Asian/Pacific favorites, plus macaroni salad.
The jockeys are out every morning at the Bay Meadows race track, next to the Caltrain station at Hillsdale. They used to work out at the practice track until several years ago, when both the practice track and stables were demolished to build expensive offices, condos, and apartments that can be seen in the background.
