I left my sanity...
In six blocks I walked past six different ethnic restaurants, ten liquor stores, one unconscious, and not unattractive blonde woman in six-inch, knee-high. white boots, clearly no longer made for walking, several three-hundred-plus pound men AND women, one four-foot Asian woman with a walker, a guy wearing giant, Elton John style sunglasses, another guy wearing a sailor hat, two reasonably hot strippers who totally checked me out, about twenty homeless people, a rather robust prostitute in black thigh highs and a vinyl jacket, and one dude wearing iridescent purple pants with baby-blue, fur, knee-length cuffs and a frilled American flag vest.
Goddam, it's good to be back in San Francisco.

Sounds like I need to be moving to San Francisco. The highlight of my evening was going to walmart to buy stuff for halloween, I saw the old man at the door greeting people who gave me a basket, hundreds of other people getting in my way, crowding me, banging into me and just plain annoying me. Then there was the lady in the electric wheelchair that must have been 500lbs! Shit, I would much rather see what you see.

Just curious...when people walked past you, what did they categorize and count you as? ;) I can see why you don't have Playboy Playmates in your hood.
