Boozers, pirates and nudies... and the marathon they ran

I thought it was some weird ass dream. A thunderous roar from somewhere not too distant waked Brandi, Iggy and me up. I thought that it couldn’t be real. What and who would make such a raucous on this holy Sunday morning at 9 A.M.. Iggy barked and ran like a mad-dog in the backyard, which was nothing new really. I soon realized it was bay-to-breakers marathon… and the marathon runners must’ve been done and then came the comical tail end. Brandi and I went to go watch the nudies, penguins, pirates and pirate ships, beer-filled grocery carts, tiki bars, nuns, cavemen/women, nurses, doctors… like Halloween in springtime... in the middle of the day... My favorite has to be the “delegation” from Marina, which is the yuppie district of San Francisco. A group of friends dressed in yuppie attire held a sign that says “Marina”. Someone yelled, “Marina go to hell.” On to which the reply was “You people scare me.”

Every year I have the same comment --- People who need to put on costumes are naked.

Here's something good from the news today...

"A 7-year-old boy has become one of the youngest people to swim the cold, swift waters between Alcatraz Island and San Francisco, completing the 1.4-mile distance in 47 minutes.
...Braxton Bilbrey could be the youngest ever to accomplish it. "

Hooray to Braxton Bilbrey, a second-grader from Glendale Arizona!!!
