BAY AREA DAY 2

Today I walked a lot. My legs are tired and my shoulders hurt cause I was carrying a bag.

The coolest thing that happened is that a guy in a big Corona truck - meaning it was one of those beer delivery trucks full of Corona - was stopped and I was walking on the sidewalk. He kept hitting his brakes making a squeeky, rusty-gate kind of sound that trucks and buses always make cause they don't have great brakes. He managed to get my attention, which I realized he had been trying to do, and he smiled at me. I guess he was flirting.

I also realized that when a rental ad describes a neighborhood as "rough around the edges," that means that it is being gentrified but isn't completely hip and trendy yet.

Tonight I ate at a restaurant that specialized in uncooked food. Everything was vegan and there was no need to mention that anywhere - it was a given. But the menu specified when the food had been partially or completely cooked, and most of the food was not cooked. The food I ordered was bland and dry.
