12/11/2007: "SFO return"
OK, we're back from San Francisco now. Always nice to visit the Bay Area, which to my mind has the ideal climate-- neither too cold nor too hot, and with a wide variety of microclimates available in a relatively small geographical area. On the rare occasions when temperatures do veer near excessive heat or cold, one can thus flee to relief within a few short miles.

It was unseasonably cool during our visit, and quite amusing to hear the locals exclaiming over how "cold" it was-- heh. San Francisco may have its wild side, but mild is the weather thither. The airport-parked cars were frost-glazed upon our return to Portland, and how often does that happen at SFO?

Winter Solstice coming up in 1.5 weeks; it's marked at December 22nd on our calendar. That's also the day of Portland's second Santacon event, for which we're preparing feverishly, with costumes and accessories far more elaborate and conceptually twisted than last year's hasty participation allowed. More on that soon... also more on flutes, of which a few fine specimens still await good homes. Anyway, see y'all again tomorrow. --r.
