Bay Area chanterelles in season
Chanterelles are in season right now around the San Francisco Bay Area for the next few weeks. You can find them under oak and mixed forest conifers in the east bay hills, south through Big Sur and beyond. These chanterelles in the photo were at the Civic Center farmers market today at the Far West Fungi stand, but they were picked along the central coast near Big Sur
You can't grow these. they must be hunted and picked, therefore the price
these photos are from earlier today around the San Francisco Bay Area, found under tan oak, by a fellow member of the Mycological Society of San Francisco

I wonder if the SF society that eats at the famous le Central have noticed this commissioned art above the restaurant lately. Is Willie Brown dodging the love bombs being dropped?

Pearl Harbor Bike Messenger
today is the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor
But here's something many people don't know about how a bike messenger delivered the news
But here's something many people don't know about how a bike messenger delivered the news
By Yokota Fritz
Today -- December 7 -- is "the day that will live in infamy," when the Japanese Imperial Navy launched a surprise attack in 1941 that crippled the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Here's a tiny little footnote in history about this day.
Japan intended to deliver a declaration of war 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the attack, but bureaucrats at the Japanese embassy in Washington were slow in decoding, typing, and delivering the message to Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
The U.S. Army had already decrypted the declaration on the evening of December 6 and dispatched war warnings to all Pacific area commands. Communication problems delayed receipt of the warning in Honolulu until after 7:30 AM, Hawaii time. A Japanese-American bicycle messenger was immediately sent to deliver the warning to General Walter Short, who was in charge of defending Pearl Harbor. The messenger was pedaling to Ft Shafter when, at 7:55 AM, the cyclist was caught in the attack. He finally delivered his message through falling bombs and bullets two hours after the start of the attack.
There's no word on if this unnamed messenger received a tip for his services.

stolen Marin palisades trail bike
this bike is currently stolen, and it was stolen with the Onlock U-Lock still locked to the frame (they broke the post it was locked to). It has a distinctive crack on the frame where the seat is and it's welded there to keep the seat up. Otherwise the seat would sink. You can see the weld if you blow up the photo. It's right where the quick release is
Even the saddle bags are very rare around San Francisco as only one store sells the 'banjo brothers' type
If you see the bike and/or saddle bags anywhere, please email
It's kind of idiotic to take this bike as it's not worth more than 100 bucks. Especially since it's going to cost to get an angle grinder to get the lock off the frame. It's 12 years old with a cracked frame and you can get a brand new Marin bike at the new Marin bike store on Folsom and 7th for 200 bucks
