Yea Kids, Eat Right...

..just don't tell Hostess.

This is the opening scene at a Safeway, an uncomfortable 5 feet from the door. So close, in fact, that cart pushers have to let those exiting exit before they can enter.

Framed on our left is that waskely wabbit, Bugs, telling our kids that eating right is cool, it's fun, and quite frankly that if Bugs is doing it, you should too.

Framed on our left is a plethora of delicious filled and frosted goodies. Twinkies, Cupcakes, pies of all flavors, Ho-Ho's, Suzy Q's, and my personal favorite (I love the premise, although I don't they're fit for human consumption) - Snowballs!

How can you resist the chocolate cake and the marshmallow, dusted in coconut, and dyed hot pink? You can't.

Surfing Fort Point

What an eerie place to surf. The water is cold, there can be 7 knot currents on the outside, and the Golden Gate Bridge puts everything in miniature. Sometimes I feel like a GI Joe out there. Don't forget about the sharks either.

It is unfortunate that the wave isn't very good. It doesn't stand up tall and give you a long line to work with; it tends to have one section and then peter out. It is also extremely crowded. Despite the rocks and the sharks, you're more likely to get run over than anything else.

There's a particularly big rock right in the middle of the take off zone too. You either go behind it and race the section, or in front of it and risk dropping in on someone who is taking their chances behind. Very unfortunate placement.

What this place needs are some reef balls! They would create more of a shoulder, a longer ride, and even out the bottom more near that big rock. Except for the wave itself, the set up is great, relatively sheltered from wind, and you can't beat the view.

You just feel like a Smurf.

Jollibee

Ate breakfast here because nothing else was open near the Moscone Center. For a fast food transplant from the Philippines, it wasn't too horrible.

I opted for the "Sweet Pork Breakfast Plate" which consisted of, well, chunks of sweet pork on one side of the plastic container and scrambled eggs over garlic rice on the other.

The rice was garlic-y, I like it strong, but this would turn most Americans off. I guess "Sweet Pork Breakfast Plate" would do that too. Maybe next time I'll get the "Tender Beef Breakfast Plate" instead.

I don't think there will be a next time soon, but I was watching the Discovery Channel shortly after dining here and watched an apartment building in the Philippines collapse. What was directly across the street from said apartment building?

That's right. A Jollibee.
