Apes leaving the Golden Gate Bridge |
So the rental bikers, dog walkers, runners, strollers and lopers like Ciwt were startled by their fellow Crissy Field promenaders today. To say the least! Bikers nearly fell over, some had to dismount from their bikes to be safe, dogs barked like mad, runners gave the horses a very wide berth.
San Franciscans are used to unusual sites on their streets, but apes on horses was (to Ciwt's knowledge) a first. Clearly the apes can saddle and ride horses, but it looked like they can't write. Or at least didn't bother to this afternoon so didn't carry or wear any identification.*

* According to SF Gate, the best guess is the apes were part of a publicity stunt for a new movie, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Or maybe they were just enjoying a timelessly beautiful site.

Time for some new hiking clothes and shoes. Time for going place to place to place to find and try them on. Time to come home and crash from the effort.

Ciwt's life has been pretty nuts and bolts these last couple of days. So she's delighted to see in The Atlantic Photos of the Week that all sorts of important things were happeing all over the place.

Or at least that was the step by step route to the new tooth Ciwt had implanted yesterday. Luckily the anesthesia took the edge off initialing pages and pages of possible life threatening complications and paying off the 'Treatment Plan' in full, up front.
PS - It's way in the back. She can't really see it, but knows it's there when she looks at her check book..
