15. San Francisco and "Biggest Ball of String", America are quite different.

I worked in SF. It was like nothing else on Earth.

Office was at the corner of Chinatown, the Italian section and the financial district.

Walked past Angela Alioto's office on the way to lunch. Walked to Union Square.

I am living in the foothills now, California's equivalent of magatown, USA.

Both are quite photogenic.









Very few nazis there.
