Star Walk (0)

Star Walk is, upon first observation, inscrutable, limitless and unfathomable. Do not misinterpret – I say this with the utmost praise.

“No cops spotted within your area.” ~ SpotACop. Well, I know that’s definitely not true. Not that Petaluma is laden with crime, or anything, but we do have plenty of cops to go around. In some ways, our cops are more visible than those in Oakland, less likely to be lurking in dark alleyways and more ... Read More

New York City has always been a happening place, with each borough offering their own downtown vibes and cultural flairs. I was born in Brooklyn, the land of the Brownstones, somewhere at the juncture of 7th street and 7th avenue – the heart of the borough you could say – and while definitely a bit ... Read More

I am not a skiier. In fact, I’ve never skiied. Or, at least, I’ve never done downhill skiing, which is arguably the only way to ski. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is a skier. Gliding this way and that, effortlessly, over powdery snow, sloshing pretty streams of it in either direction, he just exudes lithe ... Read More

Her flat is situated in the quaint Cole Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, which is sandwiched between Haight to the north and Market to the south, and is usually unknown ... Read More

Scene: Siskiyou Wilderness – Night A somber fog hushes the woods. A fog so thick it’s palpable, able to be indented, as it undulates, clinging to the craggy faces of rocky outcrops and the splintered shell of an antique, befallen stump. A deer steps out from the thicket, dew cascading from her mange-bitten fur, her doleful ... Read More

I tried to outsmart Gokivo. Twice I attempted to fry it’s artificial brain. Following is a turn for turn account of my battle with Gokivo, the travel directions navigation app. My first use for this app was a setup.
