Walk #47
Ahh the sweet sounds of Kevin and Bean . . . .
I was super behind in my K&B podcast and today I caught up on three days worth of morning shows with one long walk. It was a bit of an overload, but a pleasant one. You all know, of course, that listening to that much K&B can only mean one thing: I was in fact laughing out loud while I was walking around by myself. A lot, actually. Good times. My favorite segment though, was one where they talked about Ricky Gervais being interviewed by Piers Morgan. And Ricky Gervais had the best quote ever: "Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right." Amen!
And with that, the walk!
I strolled through Richmond along Arguello and continued along into the Presidio to make my way to meet Mrs. McEnoy for some much needed yoga.
After yoga, the fun began. I decided to take Divisadero home which looks a little something like this

and this from the top

Suffice it to say, it was a bit of a hike.
Luckily for me, there were rewards for my efforts. I don't know if it's because I stare at too many street stamps or because the brain works on auto-correct, but I had to stare at this one for a while before I knew it was wrong. And even when I knew it was wrong, it took me a minute to figure out why. Maybe it was lack of oxygen at this crazy altitude. Now, I can clearly see that it's DivisadEro not

I continued along Divis and took a left onto Sacramento. There have been several Sacramento blunders to this point. (You can revisit them here and here.) So I sort of appreciate this effort: There's not really enough room, our spelling is shoddy at best, let's just abbreviate...
Then the A went missing, but it was easily substituted with a 'V'. No one will know, except the crazy red head ...

And not long after, the N went missing so instead of Cornwall we get:

Rounding out the walk we return to another old favorite.
The which way does this crazy underused letter go again?
Quick hint street stampers: Not that way.
Total mileage: 9.11
