San Fran... after all these years

i think the last time i was here i crashed out on my sister couch inhaling cat and dog hair (i'm deadly allergic to it all by the way) and i was wandering the streets of the bay area with less than $20 in my bank account. it was before the world knew of our current President and became dependent and imprisoned by Homeland Security.
in today's topsy-turby world, my sister moved to Long Island (Islip is often referred to as the the san francisco of the east), i discovered that i am allergic to much more than pet hair, and the amount of currency blanketing my wallet continues to decrease (contrary to the american dream).
more pictures, comments and updates on our trip to follow.
