The tie really helped keep me warm during the morning ride through the fog along the bayshore. Both around the neck and where the wind normally whips in through the shirt placket underneath the vest.

Stormy Weather- Ella Fitzgerald
I thought I saw clouds ahead. At least the brief summer storm livens up the journey, as does this Thunderbirds style building. It is Lancaster South, known to all but it's owners as Forton Services. It was built in the year I was born and as a child it always filled me with wonder and delight, a futuristic dream in the middle of rural Lancashire. I'm not the only one who loves this building, it was added to the official protected list a couple of years ago. Originally a restaurant, it closed when it failed fire safety regulations 25 years ago. There isn't a proper fire escape route except jumping or driving off in your flying car. Bit of a design faux pas that, but back in 1965 flying cars were expected to be only a year or two away.
Phone, cards, transit passes, cash, to-do notebook, first aid kit, wind layer, lightweight backup layer.
Back door opens and the song opens with a crescendo
of cold air, dying down as temperatures mix.
Bike Shed opens and a second instrument joins in,
Sha-Shink, Sha-Shink
Adding a circular layer of rhythm.
Heart pumps faster and heats up the melody, with a beat so low it's felt in my
chest, not heard.
I feel the song in my fingertips tingling. I hear the song in the wind, icing
my cheeks.
First stoplight and the quiet chorus of rejuvination fills in.
Winds recede and cheeks warm up. Gloved hands are nestled under
arms. Legs Rest.
Green Light and Sha-Shink, Sha-Shink, the rhythm repeats and heart-bass warms
up the backbeat again. The heat of the melody rises and rises until cheeks
are bright against the breeze. Fingers limber up against the odds.
Sha-Shink, Sha-Shink
The groove is on now.
And, just when I'm ready for one more verse, I've arrive and the silence of
indoor space returns, and the instruments of winter commuting fade away.

the MIRTO sign has changed (I realized just two days ago).
How do I begin my day? Each morning my darling Alice (@aliwongsf), our gal Kaili 🐶 and I walk several blocks to the 29 Sunset #sfmuni bus stop. It is always a good walk as the three of us talk a little about the day before us. When I arrive at the stop, I have several options—as most #sanfranciscans know all lines lead inbound and endup somewhere around #sffidi. Today, I took the J Church #metro. Once I got on the metro, I dove right into a book. Currently I am half way through #anythingconsidered by #petermayle. While this is a piece of fiction, parts of it could easily have been my biography. Now I am at my desk and having black #coffee, fresh #oranges, and yesterday’s leftover grilled #chicken, and just noting to my colleagues a couple of passages I found interesting during today’s commute. This is how I like to begin my day—in a thoughful, pondering mode. Now onto writing about wines that my palate really got into recently. Happy Thursday! #reading #commuting (Photo by Wilfred Wong, October 19, 2017, San Francisco, CA)
