»Still life with dogs.

While gambolling through the 'hood this morning, saw a tow-truck pulling an out-of-state car away from the kerb on Haight St. Much to my surprise, two dogs were still inside; the meter maid, unaffected, said that they'd be taken to the pound. A woman rushed out of the café across the street and said that the car had been parked in the same spot for a couple of days, dogs and all; she managed to unlock the car door and let the two dogs (a huge black lab and a cheery golden retriever, both healthy-looking if somewhat stir-crazy) out. She took them for a walk; they were champing at the bit, eager to not be in the car.
The tow truck drew away a moment later, unrepentant, taking the car to the City Tow.

Walked through the park to the California Academy of Sciences, which is presently moving digs to Howard St. The Concourse at Golden Gate park is being torn up (again), and the cherished pedestrian underpasses, home to many a saxphonist's rehearsal, will be filled with cars and a parking garage.
Saw the beautiful Skulls exhibit, in which I learned that the halibut is born with eyes one on each side of its head, but that ultimately both end up on the same side.

Anna sez, "Eyes on the side / I like to hide / Eyes in front / I like to hunt".
