1000 miles on my scooter already.. i.e only 16 gallons of gas at 62mpg

Already 1000 miles since I got the scooter. Averaging 62 miles a gallon that's only about 16 gallons of gas !!! Even though before I bought, I read many sites that said that Chinese scooters were no good and would break after only a few miles, I have not had a single issue with mine and it does all the steepest hills of SF without any problem !! I love my 'non-vespa' Chinese scooter :)

Dia de Los Muertes - Day of the dead


"Don't just cry mournfully over the individuals, dreams and influences that have helped make you what you are. Dance for them; sing for them; honor them; leap into the air and kiss the sky for them."

"Dia de los Muertos is a traditional Meso-American holiday dedicated to the ancestors; it honors both death and the cycle of life. In Mexico, neighbors gather in local cemeteries to share food, music, and fun with their extended community, both living and departed. The celebration acknowledges that we still have a relationship with our ancestors and loved ones that have passed away.

In San Francisco, Day of the Dead has been celebrated since the early 70s with art, music, performances and a walking procession, which help us contemplate our existence and mortality -- a moment to remember deceased friends and family, and our connections beyond our immediate concerns."

excerpts from http://www.dayofthedeadsf.org/

I had missed this event for the past two years and finally manage to go this year and it was awesome. Here are some pics from it.

My Halloween 2009 costume - Horn-y Red Devil !

Had a dinner and haloween party to go to, that night. 1:00p.m and I did not yet know what to wear. Decided to go haight st and I saw a nice pair of horns that Thought being a 'horn-y' devil might be a good idea. So, bought some red face paint as well with the horns. Horns - $7, red cream face paint - $0.99 - good costume - priceless :)
