Broadcasting live from "Little Switzerland," San Francisco. Twitter @TheRealWBTC. E-mail me here. An explanation of the title here. My other blog: The Sutro Tower Fan Club. And no, they're not greyhounds, they're whippets.
Check out this amazing, handmade quilt! It was tough to get a good shot of it because of the lighting and position, but all the squares are SF-related: Muni, the Zoo, sports teams, even a Doggie Diner head! Unfortunately, it’s not for sale, but you can enter a drawing to win it at noevalleynurseryschool.com and cross your fingers!

Finally (3 of 3), here is JESUS’ FACE! It’s on the base of that tree on the right side of photo #1. I don’t even walk my dogs over here normally, but I’ll definitely go out of my way if there’s the opportunity to let them pee on Jesus’ face! Just awesome. Only in San Francisco.
