Cable Car Control Center

A great little museum (the price is right too..free) where the cables for all the lines in the city pass through. A mechanical engineer's dream.


What's For Lunch?

How about some fresh Chinese broccoli? A cross between broccoli rabe and asparagus

Or, maybe you'd like to tuck into some fresh deer ear lobes, deer horn, sparrow's nest or some wild mushrooms. Sparrow's nests were going for $3700 a pound. Too dear? Try some deer ear lobes, only $850 a pound for them.

Classic San Francisco

...and on a rainy morning, you pretty much have the cable car to yourself, or at least you can sit "outside" and experience the wind and occasional rain in your face

Tips on How To Get Rid of Junk Mail

Go to this web site, lots of great tips o reducing the amount of unwanted mail everyone gets.

But it's worth it, not getting the stuff to begin is more optimal than recycling the unwanted mail.
