This picture is from a few months ago at 4th and Howard. It's been overcast every morning as it mostly is this time of year in SF, so this picture looks like it did this morning and many of the mornings for the past two weeks. That's Fred looking this way, the other is Rod. Fred and I go way back, Rod is a newer acquaintance. Being in a union is great, but the work is hard and often dangerous. This last two weeks I worked 80 hours. I kept nodding off on the BART train to and from the city. I wondered if anybody thought I was some kind of addict. I never missed my stops though. This job is finally over, so I'm off for a few weeks.
