The Song, The Cinematography, The Skateboarding
I've always kept up with skateboarding. There's a part of it that has remained in my heart. Some of the best times in my life were spent skating. But who am I kidding, that was forever-and-a-day ago. Still, lately I've been thinking about getting a board again just to cruise around and get out of the house.
Huf put out this little diddy to Tony Bennett's "Left My Heart in San Francisco." It definitely fuels that fire.

KJ Got Robbed
SF ain't no joke. People always think of SF as being a place of peace and hippies. But those people never went to the Tenderloin. Or cared to notice all the sketchy bums roaming around. Well, Mayor of Sacramento, Kevin Johnson was robbed over the weekend. And while helping someone get in a cab.

Sad day man. But in this day and age, we have to be aware.Johnson said he noticed a man "well into his 70s" struggling with two bags and holding a book. Johnson said he helped the man on the train and later determined that the man was heading in the same direction. At the Powell Street station, they left the train and began to walk.
On his blog, Johnson continued: "I noticed he was slowing down. I offered to take his bags and his book, plus my own stuff. We walked further. It was obvious he couldn't walk to Sutter Street, about four blocks away. ... I suggested we find a taxi. I found a cab and put the gentleman's bags in the trunk. I gave the driver $20 to cover the four blocks and a tip. When I turned around, my bag was gone.
