New Year's Eve. . .New Year's Day

My wild-knight neon twinkle fate there, ah, and then finally at dawn of a Sunday and they did call me, the immense girders of Oakland Bay still haunting me and all that eternity too much to swallow and not knowing who I am at all. Jack Kerouac

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill it calls to me,
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars,
The morning fog may chill the air--
I don’t care.
Douglas Cross and George Cory

Whoever laid the town out took the conventional checkerboard pattern of streets and without the slightest regard for the laws of gravity planked it down blind on . . . a confusion of steep slopes and sandhills. The result is exhilarating. John Dos Passos
