The mayor has been everywhere today. Everytime I turn around, there he is shaking hands with someone. It's such a strange thing to observe SF on this day with this mayor, and to think about and remember Mayor Schmitz and the corruption he brought this city.
The city seems truly happy today. We've seen the end of the rain—for the day at least, and everyone is enjoying Justin Herman Plaza with a "Remember and Prepare" attitude.
The end of the parade brought not only the mayor and his troupe but a variety of city union workers, paramedics, fire, trash, scottish pipe bands, and children's drum and pipe bands. The Gay Men's Chorus was on hand to sing in the Plaza dressed in black tuxes with lots of sun shining on their red rhinestone AIDS memorial ribbons. I was talking with one local restaurant owner who told me how difficult the weather has been on local businesses this past month.
It's amazing to think that this city actually has any outdoor business to consider considering how much we enjoy the fog... no businesses will be hurting today because of bad weather. I would suggest that everyone turn their computers off NOW, leave your desks NOW and come down here and enjoy this. It's like nothing we've seen before or are likely to see again. 100 YEARS!
