Between assignations, so I just took a little saunter downtown to test out the new 12c bus pass that I picked up yesterday. Son-of-a-gun, there are some benefits to being officially old.... Yesterday, however not everything went smoothly as we tried to get the senior discount at the City prior to paying our property taxes. Naturally they changed the rules again and we needed to provide a copy of the house deed now, so we just caved and paid the $64 this year, more than triple last year's taxes....
Today, the blue of the sky and the warmth of the sun was refreshing as I criss-crossed El Centro and re-took some shots from my favourite angles. Gotta love hanging around Parque Calderon.
I then wandered over to San Francisco market to pick up a couple of t-shirts and house pants. Next I stopped in to City Hall to see some new artwork on display...
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
