The fires in Northern California have made the air in San Francisco truly toxic, code red kind of toxic. Normally, I go on walks Monday thru Friday, but the air has kept me indoors.

Wrecked Weekend (Sundays In My City)
Earlier this week, my husband and I celebrated 10 years of marriage.

That Time Patriot Prayer Tried to Hold a Press Conference in Alamo Square (Sundays In My City)
