Pro-war Kimonos
The De Young Museum in San Francisco has an exhibit titled "Weapons of Mass Seduction: The Art of Propaganda". The most amazing things in the show are children's pro-war kimonos from the later 1930s.

Knowing how it all turned out makes these objects even stranger.

On Bernal Hill
We walked up to the top of our hill recently. It was a beautiful day. Here's a very orange wagon.
Big bird?
Spikes.
Find the bee.
Stump eye.
Very yellow house.

Commemoration and Chocolate
Some of the students in the Bureau Chief's French Conversation and Literature Class very thoughtfully bring back small souvenirs from their travels, as gifts to the rest of the class. One woman recently toured Saint Petersburg and Moscow and brought back little wrapped chocolates commemorating Lenin and the 1917 Revolution.
Another woman made a trip to New York City and brought back chocolate coins from Peter Luger Steak House. They did not have a picture of Lenin on them. One side said the restaurant has been famous for over 125 years.
The other side says that it was founded in 1887. That makes it 131 years old. That is not a notable number so they are wise to simply stick with "over 125". Peter Luger outlasted the Soviet Union handily. Hopefully he does not lie in state in the walk-in meat locker.

A Stroll on Mission Street on 4/16/18
Haven't walked there in a while. The sky was initially spectacularly ominous but cleared up.
An employment agency.
Unlike in the sign, there's blue in the sky.
A delightful bee.
Part of the Mission is new.
The start of a mural.
I posted a photo of this face a few years ago but now he's a little faded and the jewelry store next door is closed.
The signs say it all.

Book Cover of the Decade?
It's an interesting book. Like Trump, Depardieu admires Putin. (In French Vlad is "Poutine", just like the Québécois dish with cheese curds, fries and gravy.)
