It's blue skies and gorgeous in SF yesterday and today. I went downtown to do some bloodwork, came out and grabbed a burger (because I had to fast beforehand) and as I'm sitting down I hear a brass band start up. It's the Valkyries victory parade. Suddenly downtown is flooded with a sea of lilac jerseys.

Let me tell, you San Francisco was in a very good mood yesterday.
