Free Dream Interpretation/Calendar of Events




































Sunday is such a beautiful day! Went to the Haight Street Fair for the first time in many years. What a great street fair - better than Union Street Fair - food, music (loud - shake the ground type of music), clothes, and lots and lots of happy people. These pictures were taken at 11:30 a.m. on a Sunday! That's really early for the Haight!

I was expecting lot's of political activity - organizational tables - I didn't see much. Not even a sign of Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi who is running for Supervisor in District Five this November. ( many people think or want Mirkarimi to run for Mayor).
